Lyrics

Roadhouse Angels copyright Barbara Cecil 2/3/2000

I?m on my way to work

It?s another Friday night

I?m all dressed up with my sequins on

And I?m headed for the lights

On the other side of that river

Just beyond the railroad tracks

To a place they call the roadhouse

Where you can lay a cold one back

And when the sun goes down, and it?s quitting time

There?s no place that I?d rather be

Then singing to the roadhouse angels

That are watching over me

(chorus)

I?m singing to the roadhouse angels

they?ve got their wings tucked up their sleeves

they?ve got cowboy hats on their halos

oh but their not fooling me

I guess it just goes to show you

No matter what you believe

Things aren?t always as they look

Not always what you perceive

Now some might call them barflies

Oh and some might call them drunks

I can tell when they?re flying high

Or when they?re down in the dumps

But I don?t pass no judgment

I just smile at them and sing

Cause I can see the light shining in their eyes

I know it?s all a part of the game

And when a fight breaks out in the corner

and the pool sticks start to swing

I can count on the roadhouse angels

To be watching over me

(chorus)





There are angels in the heavens

And there are angels on this earth

And the angels in this barroom

Yeah they?re keeping me safe at work

The angels all like music

can do a mighty fine two step too

Or take a ride on that mechanical bull

There ain?t nothing that those angels can?t do

And when the bar shuts down

And the lights come up

And the whole place starts to leave

I can count on the roadhouse angels to be watching over me



(chorus) (tag)

Singing to the roadhouse angels, singing to the roadhouse angels, singing to the roadhouse angels
