Angel's Hands

She said i've been up all night and half-scared to death
 i can smell the liquor on your breath
 i payed for your rehab with my ira
 boy your daddy'd be turning in his grave
 she said son i've done all mama can do
 i can save myself but i can't save you
 he said i wished you and jesus would get off my back
 they said his truck was doing 90 when he crashed
 i bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
 even god cries when an angels hands are tied
 they said honey grown-ups do this all the time
 and tears welled up in their little girls eyes
 they said now it's something that you've done
 it just that mommy and daddy don't get along
 she said do you guys mean that you need a time out
 and that daddy's gonna move to a different house
 they said you'll have two bedrooms you're a lucky kid
 she said what about checkers, where's he gonna live
 i bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
 even god cries when an angels hands are tied
 she prays, angels watch me through the night
 stay by my side til morning light
 god bless mama, god bless daddy
 keep us together and happy
 i bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
 even god cries when an angels hands are tied
