Ten Thousand Angels

(tim johnson/tim ewing)

Bobby got down on his knees, said "becky would you marry me"
He slipped that ring up on her hand
She ran home to show her mom, said "look here what i've got on"
That diamond sparkled on the band
She looked her daughter in the eye, said "girl you are so young
I just pray that in your heart you know that he's the one

'cause without love it don't mean a thing
It's just a rock on a golden ring
You could take it down to an old pawn shop or toss it in the sea
'cause without love it don't mean a thing"

Five years down a rocky road, bobby had some doubts you know
He said "i'm not sure i feel the same"
She packed up her old suit case, note said "bobby, here's your space
I can't stay if your heart's really changed"
He found the ring beside the pen and tears illed up his eyes
It read "p.s., don't you realize

'cause without love it don't mean a thing
It's just a rock on a golden ring
You could take it down to an old pawn shop or toss it in the sea
'cause without love it don't mean a thing"

He found her at her mama's house, said "girl you gotta change your mind
You were talking about your ring, but i'm talking about my life

'cause without love it don't mean a thing
You're my rock, here's your golden ring
I'm begging you to take it back, baby now i see
That without love it don't mean a thing

Oh, now without love it don't mean a thing"

If there was anyway out where i could slip away and take my heart with me
If there was anyway out where i could slip away and leave my mind at ease
'cause if my head was on right you wouldn't be sitting here tonight watching me shakin' it
But if my heart was in tact you know i'd let you have the first crack at breakin' it

If you were anything less than what you are to me well i would have a reason then
For calling it quits instead of having these fits over where you've been
If the love that you stole wasn't still the best that i've known i wouldn't be takin' it
And if my heart was in tact you know i'd let you have the first crack at breakin' it

If my body didn't move every time my head didn't turn i wouldn't be thinkin' it, oh no
And if my heart was in tact you know i'd let you have the first crack at breakin' it

Oh, if my head was on right you wouldn't be sitting here tonight watching me shakin' it
And if my heart was in tact you know i'd let you have the first crack at breakin' it

She puts the coffee on the counter before he takes his seat
And slides the sugar closer to him, she knows he likes it sweet
And then she lingers with busy fingers waiting for his smile
They talk about the rainy weather, she's thinking all the while

What she wants to say is
"i could love a man like you, oh how i wish you knew
I have seen you're good and kind, strong enough for two
You could sweep me off my feet and carry me away"
But all she says is "have a nice day"

They talk about how unemployment is finally coming down
The factory that's gonna bring some life back to this town
She wonders if his words mean more than what it really seems
And she's still looking for the courage to say just what she means
What she wants to say is

"i could love a man like you, oh how i wish you knew
I have seen you're good and kind, strong enough for two
I'm more woman than i can show you in this old cafe"
But all she says is "have a nice day"

He winks once then he's gone, she's got time to kill
And in her dreams she's leaving with him, she knows some day she will

What she wants to say is
"i could love a man like you, oh how i wish you knew
I have seen you're good and kind, strong enough for two
I'm more woman than i can show you in this old cafe"
But all she says is, all she says is
All she says is "have a nice day"

Got in this morning at 4 a.m.
You're as mad as you can be
Well i was drinking and talking and you know how that goes
Time just slipped away from me
By the time i knew what time it was
It was too late to call home
Stop carrying on acting like a child
I wasn't doing anything wrong

Guys do it all the time
And you expect us to understand
When the shoe's on the other foot
You know that's when it hits the fan
Get over it, honey, life's a two way street
Or you won't be a man of mine
Sure i had some beers with the girls last night
Guys do it all the time

I know i left my clothes all over the place
And i took your twenty bucks
No i didn't get the front yard cut
'cause i had to wash my truck
Will you bring me a cold one, baby
And turn on the tv
We'll talk about this later
There's a ball game i wanna see

Guys do it all the time
And you expect us to understand
When the shoe's on the other foot
You know that's when it hits the fan
Get over it, honey, life's a two way street
Or you won't be a man of mine
Sure i had some beers with the girls last night
Guys do it all the time

You look like you just took a long look in the mirror
Tell me baby if things don't look a whole lot clearer

Get over it, honey, life's a two way street
Or you won't be a man of mine
Sure i had some beers with the girls last night
Guys do it all the time

Yeah, guys do it
Yeah, guys do it
All the time, all the time
Yeah, guys do it
Yeah, guys do it

The first thing i did when you said goodbye
Was sit myself down and have a real good cry
The next thing i did was put my red dress on
And go downtown dancing 'till the break of dawn

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now i gotta get to gettin' over you
Too bad i gotta do it, baby, someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do

Fancy meeting you at our stomping ground
Sorry if you caught me painting the town
Guess i shoulda stayed home with your memory
Baby don't take it personally

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now i gotta get to gettin' over you
Too bad i gotta do it, baby, someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do

Give me a call some time real soon
And remind me to remember to forget about you, oh yeah!

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now i gotta get to gettin' over you
Too bad i gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do

A girl's gotta do it
Yeah, a girl's gotta do it
Too bad i gotta do it with someone new
Too bad i gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
