Southern Angel

She never knew, her daddy’s name
and mama’s men (well they), all looked the same
Looked the same, such a shame.
She cried through the night, so deep was the pain
her eyes were dyin', but heart was on fire
to fly away, just fly away
She’s a Southern Angel as she flies through the night
A Southern Angel headed high in the sky
A Southern Angel as she flies to the light
singing Hallelujah, and bye, bye,
the sweet bye and bye
As time slipped away, games were harder to play
She’d smile when she had to, but it was such a strain
through the pain, no refrain.
She lived her life, tryin' to get it straight
now she’s tired of tryin', she don’t wanna wait
another day, to fly away
