Angel with a busted wing

(David Munyon)

 

Well, the road was good for you and me

We spent some seasons there in our old car

Then I went wild and said the hell with everything

Too much broken trust and broken smiles

Some day love will grant us money

If you keep the crazy shost from catching me

You gave me more than I ever dreamed

Please keep this angel with a busted wing

 

Columbus, Georgia 1981

The Azalias sang they finally fell in love

You chased me down there from Heavens Gate

We went driving in your Oldsmobile Eighty-eight

You are the waitress of my secret dreams

You are the soldier who would die for me

I hope you kept the pictures of our memories

Please keep this angel with a busted wing

 

So, we made Munich... and The Sphinx Hotel

Tried to run to Russia, but they brought me home

I like the way you take your blouses off,... so slow

I like the way you keep me from getting cold

I think of leaving every now and then

But your blue eyes, they seem to always win

You're the sweetest Southern Belle I've ever seen

Please keep this angel with a busted wing

Please keep this angel with a busted wing
