Waylon Jennings
Angels Love Bad Men
[Verse 1]
When his stolen gold has turned to rust
He rides off in a cloud of dust
Looking for a border he can cross
She'll stand by and watch him go
Wondering if he'll ever know
The hurt she's feeling now, and what they've lost
[Chorus]
Angels love bad men. That's how it's always been
They give their whole hearts when they fall
Angels love bad men. That's how it's always been
Love holds their hearts against the wall
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
When his corporate day comes to an end
He rides away in his Mercedes Benz
Soon he's lost beneath the neon sky
Outside of town, in their suburban home
She spends another night alone
Wonders what went wrong and wonders why
[Chorus]
