Said, "Angel, do you want a ride?" Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely And I need somebody by my side" It was a long road that stretched from Vegas to nowhere But it'd been an even longer time Since he found some peace of mind And he lived off of bubblegum and cigarettes And got his nourishment from all-night stores Just thought he'd keep on driving Til he outdrove his sorrow And he said, "Angel, oh do you want a ride?" Said "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely And I need somebody by my side" Her feet were worn and tired But as determined as her soul She left with no regrets But also no possessions did she own And her heart was as fragile as her thin, loving arms Thought she'd pray to God to take away her lonely When he pulled up on the side of the road And he said, "Angel, oh do you want a ride?" I said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely And I need somebody by my side" The highway goes on forever I've seen a thousand men like him before And I've seen a thousand angels that Got into the car They're just a couple of lost souls Looking to rekindle some forgotten dreams I hope they find what they're looking for In the solace of the road And they said, "Angel, oh do you want a ride?" I said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely I'm tired and I'm lonely I'm tired and I'm lonely And I need to have somebody by my angel"
