Songs About Angels

Driving east from California
Through the Arizona desert
I made a stop for some lunch
And a tank of gas
There was an old Native American
On a bench outside a restaurant
He started talking
When he saw my guitar

He said, I like Songs About Angels
Red western sunsets
I like the feeling
Of autumn in the air
I like Songs About Angels
Music from heaven
Their golden wings
Are like the halo that you wear

It's a long 3 days to Nashville
So I hurried down my food
The CD we were doing
Needed one more song
But before I hit that Interstate
I wrote down these lines
The words he said
Are still running through my mind

He said, I like Songs About Angels
Red western sunsets
I like the feeling of autumn
In the air
I like Songs About Angels
Music from heaven
Their golden wings are like
The halo that you wear

solo

I like Songs About Angels
Music from heaven
Their golden wings are like
The halo that you wear

I remember it well. That was back in the innocent days!

Maybe it seemed more innocent but I've heard stories about Billy Grey and Rickey Nelson smoking weed on the Paramount lot.They didn't have TMZ and the internet to deal with.Nobody reported things that came out years later;Kennedy and Marylyn Monroe would have been front page Headlines in today's world.
