Angels Working Over Time
verse 1-
I've always been a straight shooter
quick from the hip
fire and don't miss
ain't afraid to bust you in the lip
i like to get loose and crazy
mamma always prayed someone would save me
oh
chorus-
my angels working over time
with all the hell i raise
they never get a break
tryin to keep me in line
i put em through the paces
keep em on their toes
never knowin which way i'm gonna go
i'm sorry you got stuck watchin over me
cuz i follow where that wind blows
probably think I've lost my mind
got my angels working over time
verse 2-
it ain't an easy job
keep me out of trouble
i always find it on the double
but some how i'm still alive
so they must be doing something right
cuz temptation is around the next bend
where they'll have to start all over again
chorus-
my angels working over time
with all the hell i raise
they never get a break
tryin to keep me in line
i put em through the paces
keep em on their toes
never knowin which way i'm gonna go
i'm sorry you got stuck watchin over me
cuz i follow where that wind blows
probably think I've lost my mind
got my angels working over time
verse 3-
hey maybe one day i'll slow down
but i don't see it happening any time soon
no way, no how
oh
chorus-
my angels working over time
with all the hell i raise
they never get a break
tryin to keep me in line
i put em through the paces
keep em on their toes
never knowin which way i'm gonna go
i'm sorry you got stuck watchin over me
cuz i follow where that wind blows
probably think I've lost my mind
