listen  "Angels Like Her" by Trent Tomlinson (Aaron Barker/Arlos Smith/Trent Tomlinson)

1st Verse

The sunbeam hit the Jim Beam
And ricocheted off a bottle of Coke
And cut through the still-smolderin'
Second-hand night-before smoke
The whiskey's half-empty, half in me
My enemy and my friend
Well, last night drowned my sorrow
But today is tomorrow again

Chorus

And when you fall for an angel like her
You're walkin' on clouds
When you're in love you're so up
You forget to look down
(Lord) the higher and higher she took me
The further I fell
And it's angels like her
That send guys like me straight to Hell

2nd Verse

There's a ring on her forehead
On the picture where
The bottle sat last night
It might look like a halo
But I know it's just a trick of the light
Oooh mmm, that smile on her face
Has a way to fool any old fool
Yeah, she came straight from Heaven
But I know the Devil did, too

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

Yeah, the higher and higher she took me
The further I fell
And it's angels like her
That send guys like me straight to Hell

1st Verse

Hey, Mister Dee Jay, can I make a request
Somebody I love just up and left
And if I know her
She'll drive all night long
And she just might have her radio on
Yeah, I pray she has her radio on

2nd Verse

Just in case she ain't that far from town
Play somethin' that'll turn her car around
And send it out from a fool who's done her wrong
Hey, she just might have her radio on
Yeah, I pray she has her radio on

Chorus

Play sonethin' that'll get her thinkin' 'bout me
Let her know I'm really sorry
Somethin' that reaches out in the dark
Weighs on her mind
(And) tugs at her heart

3rd Verse

Well, I know you get this all the time
Broken hearts lightin' up all the lines
Beggin' you to play that special song
Hey, but she just might have her radio on
Yeah, I pray she has her radio on

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I need to make a dedication
Before that late-night signal's faded
Before she drives away too far
And parks that damned ol' car

Tag Chorus

Play sonethin' that'll get her thinkin' 'bout me
Let her know I'm really sorry
Somethin' that reaches out in the dark
Weighs on her mind
And tugs at her heart
Tears up her eyes
Turns 'round the car

Tag

Hey, Mister Dee Jay, can I make a request
Somebody I love just up and left

Oh, yeah

1st Verse

Well, lately I've been noticin' a gradual escalation
In your inability to handle your libation
Go zero to sixty
When you get on the whiskey

2nd Verse

Well, used to be a glass 'a wine
And you'd be fine all evenin'
Now I'm the one who says, 'We're done'
And tells us when we're leavin'
Well, I miss the way that it was
Can't even catch a good buzz

Chorus

('Cause) I (keep worryin') (ain't worried) about who's drivin' home
Who's got the keys, who's got the phone
Who'll pay the bill, call a cab
I don't mean to make you mad, but
I don't want that responsibility
And I can't be with a woman, baby
Who gets drunker than me
(No, I can't be with a woman, baby)
(Who gets drunker than me, yeah)

3rd Verse

Well, I never thought it'd come to this
When I said, 'Have another'
'Cause, baby, you turned into me
And I became my mother
Well, here's what I'm thinkin'
You're interferin' with my drinkin'

4th Verse

I think I have an answer to our present situation
'Cause you and me out on the town's
Got built in limitations
So let me make this clear
Hey, I'm the one who's drinkin' here

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I ain't tryin' to ruin your good time
But I damn sure ain't lettin' yours ruin mine
You ain't gonna ruin my good time, baby

(Repeat Chorus)

1st Verse

Daddy's been a back row Baptist
With his share of front row sin
With Saturday night still on his breath
Every Sunday when he'd walk in
He's never led the benediction
He's never sang in the choir
But he's an angel with no halo
And one wing in the fire

2nd Verse

Mama lives by the Bible
The Bible lives by the bed
And she's lied alone so many nights
With scriptures in her head
Prayin' good Lord, just be with him
I know his faith is tired
But he's an angel with no halo
And one wing in the fire

Chorus

And I know he lives
A little left 'a livin' right
And he's come close
To goin' way too far a few times
But I'd trade a thousand prayers
If just one prayer would come true
Lord, please believe in him
Like I believe in you

3rd Verse

Daddy's always been there for me
From tee ball to touchdowns
Fixed my car and fixed my heart
When they've been broken down
I know he calls for more forgiveness
Than most folks do require
But he's an angel with no halo
And one wing in the fire

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

Well, I just can't imagine
What Heaven might be like
If me and Mama make it
Without Daddy by our side
Lord, could you please remember
When it's time to call us higher
That he's an angel with no halo
And one wing in the fire
