With The Angels - Nanci Griffith

She's just a hill country girl home from the city
Pocket's full of plenty of those neon lights
And her mother's smile shines on youngest child
She is just a barroom singer
With her father's eyes
And the city streets are harder understandin'
It would be easy for the devil to pass by
She can close her eyes dream about
The country boy
Chain of gold and a lullaby
Because he's waltzin' with the angels tonight
And it's a harvest moon when she's home to count her blessings
She's saved that love passing
Though it's ten years gone by
He is buried in these hills folded all around
Still's a heart of hunger with his memories inside
And the city streets are harder understandin'
Would be easy for the devil to pass by
She can close her eyes dream about
The country boy
Chain of gold and a lullaby
Because he's waltzin' with the angels tonight
Now in the mornin' she'll move on 'cause it's April on the wing
It put's feathers on her strings and her voice will fly
But that necklace of gold
She wears of his protect's her soul
From the barroom brawls and the late night drinkers
When the devil's passin' by
And the city streets are harder understandin'
It would be easy for the devil to pass by
She can close her eyes dream about
The country boy
Chain of gold and a lullaby
Because he's waltzin' with angels tonight
They will be waltzin' with angel's tonight
