Said, "Angel, do you want a ride?"
Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need somebody by my side."
It was a long road that stretched from Vegas to nowhere
But it'd been an even longer time since he'd found some peace of mind
And he lived off of bubble gum and cigarettes
and got his nourishment from all night stores
Just thought he'd keep on driving till he outdrove his sorrow
And he said, "Angel, oh do you want a ride?"
Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely,
And I need somebody by my side."
Her feet were worn and tired but as determined as her soul
She'd left with no regrets, but also no posessions did she own
And her heart was as fragile as her thin loving arms
She's praying to God He'd take away her lonely
When he'd pull up on the side of the road
And he said "Angel, oh do you want a ride?"
said "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need somebody by my side."
Highway goes on forever,
I've seen a thousand men like him before
And I've seen a thousand angels that got into the car
They're just a couple of lost souls
Looking to rekindle some forgotten dream
I'd hope they find what they're looking for in the solace of the road
And they said "Angel, oh do you want a ride?"
I said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
I'm tired and I'm lonely
I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need to have somebody by my angel"
