Lyrics
SLEEPING WITH AN ANGEL (but feelin' like the devil)
A man's gotta love what he does from 9 to 5
That ol' highway just lifts me up
and makes me feel alive
I love the open road, out on my own
But something's been keeping me home
'cause I've been
Sleeping with an angel
But I'm feelin' like the devil
Tearing my heart up in two
Yes I've been
Sleeping with an angel
But I'm feelin' like the devil
Tearing my heart up again, over you
The road has a mind of it's own, I can't deny
All the miles and the whiles that pass me by
I know the back of her hand
Just like Route 93
But I don't know where I should be
'cause I've been
Sleeping with an angel
But I'm feelin' like the devil
Tearing my heart up in two
Yes I've been
Sleeping with an angel
But I'm feelin' like the devil
Tearing my heart up again, over you
Well, the road can make you lazy
It's so free from the ties that bind
But home can make a man crazy
If he's missing it all of the time
Well I've been
Sleeping with an angel
But I'm feelin' like the devil
Tearing my heart up in two
Yes I've been
Sleeping with an angel
But I'm feelin' like the devil
Tearing my heart up again, over you
