Where Angels Hang Around Lyrics - James Otto

A hundred miles out of Little Rock 

Windshield full of rain 

I-40 eastbound drivin while I pray 

Shes asleep in the backseat 

Holdin tight to her teddy bear 

Shes got her daddys smile and her mommas hair 

But one word knocked our lives off track 

Just one word keeps us comin back 

Across the Mississippi 

A mile or two from Beale Street 

Not too far from Graceland 

Where the king of rock and roll sleeps 

To a place for children 

Where God sends his mercy rainin down 

In the heart of Memphis 

Where angels hang around 

All the deals Ive made with God 

The conversations that weve had 

Tryin to accept things I could not understand 

I wanna walk her down the aisle 

While those church bells ring 

See her get the chance to live all her dreams 

But one word knocked our lives off track 

Just one word keeps us comin back 

Across the Mississippi 

A mile or two from Beale Street 

Not too far from Graceland 

Where the king of rock and roll sleeps 

To a place for children 

Where God sends his mercy rainin down 

In the heart of Memphis 

Where angels hang around 

So sleep tight, baby 

While these four wheels roll 

Cause just beyond the clouds 

Theres a ray of hope 

Theres a place for children 

Where God sends his mercy rainin down 

In the heart of Memphis 

Where angels hang around
