Infamous Angel

Last night before I went to sleep

My knees dropped to the floor

I turned my eyes up to the sky

And I prayed, "Please help me, Lord"

You know I sowed my wild oats

And now the fun's all gone

And then I heard these tender words

And I put them in my song

Infamous Angel, come on home

To someone who loves you

And knows you needed to roam

Grab your things, a ticket's waiting

At the bus depot

For Infamous Angel, destination: home

I heard Heaven's choir rejoicing

As the tears broke from my eyes

And all at once, it lifted

The weight of my past life

I found a pen and I left a note

On the dresser drawer

Infamous Angel, she don't live here anymore

Infamous Angel, come on home

To someone who loves you

And knows you needed to roam

Grab your things, a ticket's waiting

At the bus depot

For Infamous Angel, destination: home

And I hurried out the back door

As quickly as I could

I went flying down two flights of stairs

Till on the street I stood

There I took that final look

At my old neighborhood

Then I ran down the street proclaiming

"Angel gone for good"

Infamous Angel going home

To someone who loves her

And knows she needed to roam

She grabbed her things and claimed the ticket

At the bus depot

For Infamous Angel, destination: home

Infamous Angel, destination: home
