lyrics

WHERE THE ANGELS PLAY THE BLUES

Someone told me once a time ago
God’s the only one who ever knows
When we die they lay us in the ground
Some go up above but most go down

Lord knows I tried
I paid my dues
Give me a home
Where the angels play the blues

Never thought I’d live to see the day
Never thought that I’d go out this way
Pair of strangers staring straight at me
One is smiling and the other’s got wings

Lord knows I tried
I paid my dues
Give me a home
Where the angels play the blues

I remember when I was a kid
Always wondered where the dead folks hid
Here today and then it’s c'est la vie
Hit the road down to eternity

Lord knows I tried
I paid my dues
Give me a home
Where the angels play the blues

If I wake up at the Pearly Gates
Well I know the Man has got good taste
If by chance he sends me down the hole
I’m sure those folks play with a lot more soul

Lord knows I tried
I paid my dues
Give me a home
Where the angels play the blues
