Ain't No Angel

(album: Ron Pope & The Nighthawks - 2016)

Ain't no angel, oh gonna greet me
I've been so far gone living in a fever dream

I wanna stand on the mountain
I wanna know how it feels
I wanna see what the world looks like
When everybody here can feel just what I say
And I'll do it my own way

Yes, I know, well I know, there's a price I have to pay
Cause I do it my own way

And I do not know what I need to say
Cause I'm on my own
The rules have changed since I learned to play
So I burn in vain

It is harder now than it ever was
But I'm strong enough so I'm standing up
There are things in me my words cannot betray
So I do what I do, what I do, what I do
and I do it my own way

If I could see in the future
If I could look from the clouds
If I could learn what I don't have now and could not live without
I'd gladly stay
And I'd do it my own way

Yes, I know, well I know, there's a price I have to pay
And I do it my own way

And I do not know what I need to say
Cause I'm on my own
The rules have changed since I learned to play
So I burn in vain

It is harder now than it ever was
But I'm strong enough so I'm standing up
There are things in me my words cannot betray
So I do what I do, what I do, what I do
and I do it my own way

Ain't no angel, oh gonna greet me
I've been so far gone living in a fever dream

Ain't no angel coming gonna greet me
I've been so far gone living in a fever dream

Ain't no angel, oh gonna greet me
I've been so far gone living in a fever dream

Baby, ain't no angel coming gonna greet me
I've been so far gone living in a fever dream
