James Otto - Where Angels Hang Around lyrics

rate me

A hundred miles out of Little Rock

Windshield full of rain

I-40 eastbound drivin’ while I pray

She’s asleep in the backseat

Holdin’ tight to her teddy bear

She’s got her daddy’s smile and her momma’s hair

But one word knocked our lives off track

Just one word keeps us comin’ back

Chorus:

Across the Mississippi

A mile or two from Beale Street

Not too far from Graceland

Where the king of rock and roll sleeps

To a place for children

Where God sends his mercy rainin’ down

In the heart of Memphis

Where angels hang around

All the deals I’ve made with God

The conversations that we’ve had

Tryin’ to accept things I could not understand

I wanna walk her down the aisle

While those church bells ring

See her get the chance

To live all her dreams

But one word knocked our lives off track

Just one word keeps us comin’ back

Chorus

So sleep tight baby while these four wheels roll

’Cause just beyond the clouds there’s a ray of hope

There’s a place for children

Where God sends his mercy rainin’ down

In the heart of Memphis

Where angels hang around
