I like the idea of running away from news - just in case its not good.
Lyrics
Angels Never Sing The Blues
1.
One day an Angel appeared before me,
And his harp sang out the blues
But his choice of music warned me
That Angel didn’t bear ‘Good News’
2.
A pool of light spread all around him
As he made to fold his wings
I told myself ‘Boy you’d best be moving’
Before that Angel sings
Chorus:
Yeah, I’m one step ahead of that Angel
Just one step ahead of his news
I won’t take house calls from Angels, no more
‘Cos I’m sure Angels never sing the blues
3.
So I’ve taken to wearing earplugs
And these here dark glasses dim my sight
if I can’t hear him or see him shine
Then it seems to me I’ll be all right
4.
I move myself around, from town to town
Where I’m heading I don’t know
And the only music that I’ll ever listen to
Is playing on the country radio
Chorus:
Yeah, I’m one step ahead of that Angel
Just one step ahead of his news
I won’t take house calls from Angels, no more
‘Cos I’m sure Angels never sing the blues
Bridge:
Don’t get me wrong I’d like to walk with Jesus
To go to him would fill me with joy
But Its my guess he didn’t send that Angel
No, ‘cos Jesus is a good old Country Boy
Chorus:
Yeah, I’m one step ahead of that Angel
Just one step ahead of his news
I won’t take house calls from Angels, no more
‘Cos I’m sure Angels never sing the blues
VERY CATCHY.
