Homeward Looking Angel
She saw the ragged edge of nowhere from a fast moving trai
Watched the scenery fly by with a fever in her brai
Seemed like a good time at the time, rolling down that trac
Now the only thing she wants is a one-way ticket bac
She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tire
Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspire
And that girl looking back in the mirror, Lord, made such a mess of thing
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wing
Soon as she can find her wing
She's so very hungry for a piece of Mama's pi
Served up on Grandma's china after church on Sunday nigh
Oh, now Papa's probably turning out the lights and heading up the stair
And the wayward child he never talks about still turns up in his prayer
She's a homeward looking angel and she must be feeling mighty tire
Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspire
And that girl looking back in the mirror, Lord, made such a mess of thing
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wing
There's a road ahead and a road behin
All roads lead to home this tim
She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tire
She went gunning for glory but her bullets all misfire
And that girl looking back in the mirror, Lord, made such a mess of thing
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wing
Soon as she can find her wing
Homeward looking angel
