"High Like An Angel" lyrics

"High Like An Angel"

Daddy, your daughter has the devil in her soul and he won't let go
Drinkin' whiskey with the boys an prayin' you'll never know
Your high-rollin' baby has been slippin' lately and it shows
I'm high like an angel, but the devil's got my soul

Just like you always told me, the men would want to hold me and they do
And it's "Hello, Cowboy, buy me one, I might go home with you"
They all call me baby, it's drivin' me crazy, but it's slow
When you fly like an angel, but the devil's got your soul

You were always worried I'd wind up like my mama, and I did
But you were gone and she was there and I was just a kid
They all called her baby, I guess it drove her crazy, I don't know
'Cause she started out an angel, but the devil got her soul

So daddy tell your buddies, if the love their women, let them know
Or they'll find 'em drinkin' with the boys hopin' it don't show
One day they'll find their daughters in the places
Where the lonely angels go
Those poor little angels, whiskey is their demon
They're sinkin' to the bottom, and the devil's got their souls

They're high little angels, but the devil's got their souls
