Where Angels Hang Around Lyrics - For The Kids - John Rich

A hundred miles out of Little Rock 

Windshield full of rain 

I-40 eastbound drivin' while I pray 

She's asleep in the backseat 

Holdin' tight to her teddy bear 

She's got her daddy's smile and her momma's hair 

And 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 that I made with God 

The conversations that we've had 

Tryin' to accept the 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 there's a ray of hope 

It's a place for children 

Where God sends his mercy rainin' down 

In the heart of Memphis 

Where angels hang around
