Where Angels Hang Around
A hundred miles out of Little RockWindshield full of rainI-40 eastbound drivin' while I prayShe's asleep in the backseatHoldin' tight to her teddy bearShe's got her daddy's smile and her momma's hairAnd one word knocked our lives off trackJust one word keeps us comin' backAcross the MississippiA mile or two from Beale StreetNot too far from GracelandWhere the king of rock and roll sleepsTo a place for childrenWhere God sends his mercy rainin' downIn the heart of MemphisWhere angels hang aroundAll the deals that I made with GodThe conversations that we've hadTryin' to accept the things I could not understandI wanna walk her down the aisleWhile those church bells ringSee her get the chanceTo live all her dreamsBut one word knocked our lives off trackSongtexteJust one word keeps us comin' backAcross the MississippiA mile or two from Beale StreetNot too far from GracelandWhere the king of rock and roll sleepsTo a place for childrenWhere God sends his mercy rainin' downIn the heart of MemphisWhere angels hang aroundSo sleep tight baby while these four wheels roll'Cause just beyond the clouds there's a ray of hopeIt's a place for childrenWhere God sends his mercy rainin' downIn the heart of MemphisWhere angels hang around
