Bondo - Angels drove me home
One of Bondo's greatest songs, from "A Fistful of Biscuits".
(spoken)
Hey bartender give me another beer
Do you sell cigarettes around here?
Hey honey when's that big game coming on?
Oh, alright -- I'll have another one
Fight my demons down at the bar
I thought I was winning but I guess I went too far
Stepped down off the rail and I almost fell
I made it out that front door without any help
Found the keys, saw my car, start it up, turn on the radio
I flipped on those headlights and headed out through the snow
The angels drove me home
The angels drove me home
Seven miles from my front door
I faded out awake no more
Made it home safe and sound
'Cause the good Lord was around
God sent down a chauffeur to take the wheel from me
Oh Lord those angels
Those angels drove me home
Late at night when I begin to fade
I start to call her name
They swung down to deliver me with a touch of saving grace
Make sure I see another day to drink with the boys
Down the bridge around that curve
I held on tight but started to swerve
I spun around once or twice
Woke up staring at headlights
I gripped the wheel but it didn't help
I didn't know how to save myself
So I began to pray
I cried Lord let me see another day
Oh Lord those angels
Those angels drove me home
Late at night when I begin to fade
I start to call her name
They swung down to deliver me with a touch of saving grace
Make sure I see another day to drink with the boys
(spoken)
The angels drove me home that night
I really do appreciate it
Now if you just tell me where they parked my car
I'd be a happy man
