Lyrics
In a New Jersey bar room where she first called my name
She wore a bandana and a fake diamond ring
She sat down beside me and bought me a beer
She said Broken Angel is what they call me ?round here
She said she liked lightening cause it shines in the sky
But the sound of thunder always caused her to cry
She smiled when I told her I was born by the sea
Put her hand on my shoulder and said won?t you be good to me
Well the life in this city never leaves you alone
So I headed back eastward to my old mountain home
The night that I left her was covered in blood
she said I forgive you for the things that you done
Well the fireflies are shining, they?re brighter than gold
And I still think about her when the nights they grow cold
the thunder clouds gather, old thoughts come to me
of my broken Angel still waiting for me
