Leaving an Angel

Girl, I hate to hang you out to dry

With a bleeding heart and broken home

But I dropped this line to say good-bye

You shoulda saw it coming

Guess I was born for running

I can't pay the debts I owe

There's many a man looking for me

I keep a pistol under my pillow

Feel I'm going crazy

I've been good for nothing lately

Oh, and when I'm gone

I hope you mention my name

I hope you care about the man

After you place the blame

Let our years turn to gold

And never wither away

And be forgotten

I don't wanna be forgotten

Tell our boys that I'm real proud

Watched 'em grow up tough as nails

And there'll be no crying allowed

They'll know what to do

I'm sure they'll take good care of you

Kiss my baby girl good-bye

I'm sure she'll miss me most of all

I can't bear the thought of the tears she'll cry

She's so sweet and tender

Lord, I pray she will remember

When I'm gone

I hope you mention my name

I hope you care about the man

After you place the blame

Let our years turn to gold

And never wither away

And be forgotten

I don't wanna be forgotten

I'm taking the pickup truck

But I left a little bit of money

Naw, it ain't too much but

It'll get you through the month ahead

I left my Browning rifle and the old guitar my daddy gave me

Put 'em up and pass 'em down yeah

Oh they're all I have to give

Maybe one day you can give 'em to my grandkids

I know it's been hard loving me

You've taken the scars and worn 'em well

And you'd starve yourself to feed this family

I'm sick and shameful

I'm leaving an angel
