Where Angels Hang Around

Album: Sunset Man (2007)
Play Video
  • A hundred miles out of Little Rock
    Windshield full of rain
    I-40 eastbound drivin' while I pray
    She's asleep in the backseat
    Holdin' tight to her teddy bear
    She's got her daddy's smile and her momma's hair
    But one word knocked our lives off track
    Just one word keeps us comin' back

    [Chorus:]
    Across the Mississippi
    A mile or two from Beale Street
    Not too far from Graceland
    Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
    To a place for children
    Where God sends his mercy rainin' down
    In the heart of Memphis
    Where angels hang around

    All the deals I've made with God
    The conversations that we've had
    Tryin' to accept things I could not understand
    I wanna walk her down the aisle
    While those church bells ring
    See her get the chance
    To live all her dreams
    But one word knocked our lives off track
    Just one word keeps us comin' back

    [Chorus]

    So sleep tight baby while these four wheels roll
    Cause just beyond the clouds there's a ray of hope

    There's a place for children
    Where God sends his mercy rainin' down
    In the heart of Memphis
    Where angels hang around Writer/s: JAMES OTTO, MONTY CRISWELL
