Angel in Disguise

Sit’n on the side of life

Just drink’n a forty and wasting some time

Decisions he made on the way

Things he had done to turn them away

Oh, Angel in disguise

Sorry I never tried

Oh angel in disguise 

Sorry I walked on by

Oh, Angel in disguise, in disguise

Ragged creases line his old face

This grizzled old man look wild and crazed

His weary old head, no place to lay

He eases his pain with his gin and whiskey

He runs from a past that tortures his thinking

Things he had done that destroyed the believing

Wished he could go on back and try

Try to live a life that abides

But the pain floods on back 

And he drowns in his pity

So he drowns his sorrow in a bottle of whiskey

Oh, Angel in disguise

Sorry I never tried

Oh angel in disguise 

Sorry I walked on by

Oh, Angel in disguise, in disguise

This weary ol’ man needs some love and some care

Would you think twice of bringing him near

Oh he reeks of piss and beer

And his only thanks is a single small tear

Oh, Angel in disguise

Sorry I never tried

Oh angel in disguise 

Sorry I walked on by

Oh, Angel in disguise, in disguise
