Lyrics
Tragic But True
CHORUS
LOtta angels up there looking down on me
Sister, Cousin and a nephew to me
We all got to go some time , tragic but true
Hope they put good word in for me and you
Isabell was killed in 1956
by a drunken driver how hit a ditch
Sis use to bounce me on her knee
sis was but fifteen and I was but three
Chorus
Valerie lost her life in 1979
another drunkin driver hit a bridge this time
thirteen year old girl,and as blond as can be
belonged to my uncle ,who means alot to me
Chorus
Tommy lost his life in 1981
He was my brother's only son
like to drink and party and running free
tom work the last week of his eighteen year with me
Chorus
ending lotta angels up there looking down on YOU
