The Sun rises slowly Behind chain link fence Got a front row ticket At my lifes expense Propped against a car In a back alley lot I realize its only Scant moments I got Double-crossed and two-timed But not in it alone My best friend beside me Together weve grown He pleads real softly Whispers Lords Prayer Then loud as a freight train Silence fills the air Sleep well, sleep well, angel And pray I dont end up in Hell We were fools to think We could gamble with gods But when the dice turn up snake eyes You remember the odds Sleep well, sleep well, angel And pray I dont end up in Hell The chariots coming I hear its wheels The galloping horses Are fast on my heels I think of my baby girl Sleeping at home The reasons for all this Shell never know With my last ounce of strength I reach in my coat And take out her picture As the breath leaves my throat |
