Angels On Her Shoulders Lyrics - Josh Ritter

She walked right in 

As time slowed down 

But not enough 

To keep me from ordering up 

Another round 

In a bottomless cup 

That I had found 

In the hopes of never waking up the 

Jukebox played 

An old country song 

About steel guitars 

And how he'll try his level best 

To get along 

In the same old bar 

Though friends gone wrong 

Well he once had love but I never got that far

She must have angels on her shoulders 

Their light wherever she may be 

She says the angels do not know her 

I guess I'm the only one who sees. 

So I got my drink 

And my fix my rose 

But I need much more 

Then this powdered blue and rented tuxedo 

I need a line 

A-something she don't know 

Cause' she's probably heard them all a thousand times 

So I caught her eye 

For the next song 

And the waltz replaced 

The tango like she knows that I don't belong 

In these shoes 

I feel all wrong 

But that's just my pride, what have I got to lose? 

Photos 

Well last call called 

But I didn't hear 

I was too busy looking 

At her across the remnants of my beer 

She stood to leave 

And then it all came clear 

That life without her was all I had to fear 

You must have angels on your shoulders 

Their light wherever you may be 

She asks me would I like to show her? 

I think I might be just the guy you need.
