Jim Colyer Band is a free-wheeling, ever-changing thing. Members come and go. The one constant is my catalog of songs. I do some of the lead vocals but employ females as I write lots of girl songs.

Story behind the song
I read an ad placed by a female singer who was looking for songs about angels. I called her on the phone and wrote this song. She never recorded it, but the Gentry Cousins from Indiana did.
Lyrics
Driving east from California Through the Arizona desert I made a stop for some lunch And a tank of gas There was an old Native American On a bench outside a restaurant He started talking When he saw my guitar He said, I like Songs About Angels Red western sunsets I like the feeling Of autumn in the air I like Songs About Angels Music from heaven Their golden wings Are like the halo that you wear It's a long 3 days to Nashville So I hurried down my food The CD we were doing Needed one more song But before I hit that Interstate I wrote down these lines The words he said Are still running through my mind He said, I like Songs About Angels Red western sunsets I like the feeling of autumn In the air I like Songs About Angels Music from heaven Their golden wings are like The halo that you wear Jim Colyer ASCAP
