Lyrics

She used to leave him every Sunday
In her favorite cotton dress
She'd laugh with him and say
I'm off to meet my other man

They finally met this morning
About a quarter after nine
When that pickup in the distance
Crossed the center line

Chorus:
She got pulled away by angel wings
Just before that car crash
Could make her feel any pain
Now he sits there lost in memories
And wipes the tears away with fingers
Stained with nicotine
His face buried in his hands
Tears can't talk but heaven's listening

Sitting at the kitchen table
Working on his second pack
He hit the bottom of the bottle
And it started biting back

He never sat in this chair
Cause it was always hers
For thirty seven years
She was his girl

Chorus

Bridge:

Right now he just feels the anger
He can't reconcile the hurt
Cause in his heart he knows
A part of him has died with her

She got pulled away by angel wings
Just before that car crash
Could make her feel any pain
Now he sits there lost in memories
And wipes the tears away with fingers
stained with nicotine

His face buried in his hands
Tears can't talk but heavens listening
His face buried in his hands
You know tears can't talk
But heaven's listening
