Angel With A Lariat

Starving, i've got this hunger
Growing from deep within
Carving an internal thunder
Oh a craving that wears me thin

Well, it's hard to ingest
So many faces
I get my fill but still
Those passersby
Leave me empty
On a diet of strange places
It all should enhance my senses
Tell me why
Does the spice of loneliness
Seem all but tasteless
And lays there
To haunt me from inside
And leaves me...


Many a trap
Are set and baited
From tension
Of temptation of the game
But ones who are fed
Are those who waited
Takes...
Leaves it curbed and tame
Only time'll find me home
And safely set
But until that time i'll remain

Folks been diggin' into the ground
Won't be stoppin' until it's found
They might dig all the way to china
That would be just fine
You understand what i'm sayin'
They don't wanna work
They're hopin' and a prayin' for
Pay dirt


Folks are goin' to the rivers
And siftin' in the sand
All they've been findin'
Is the lids of tin cans
Of course it doesn't stop 'em
There's big bucks sellin' junk
Then turn around and buy it
For more than it's worth
They gamble and they bargain for
Pay dirt, pay dirt, pay dirt
Pay dirt


Well, i heard tell that some folks
Won't fall in love
Unless the one they's courtin'
Got more than enough
Well, nothin' gets the heart a goin'
Faster than a wad of dough
Unless it's the price of
A tease and a flirt
And promises of fistfuls
Pay dirt, pay dirt
Pay dirt

Well, if you wanna keep me movin'
Then take my heart
I got a one way ticket
Don't you know
If you're too gone to rock
To get to where you're goin'
Start into my station
Baby, look what...
Wake up, take it up
In your hands
And switch it over to my band
I got somethin'...
...anythin' you need
So dial k.d.lang
On your trucker's cb


Hey now, baby
Turn off the news
You're drivin' me crazy
Hey now, baby, please


Tune into my wave
Tune into my wave


Hey, listen to me, baby
Listen to me
Got a rock my baby boogie
And an alligator shoe
I got one foot, two foot
Sugarfoot rags
Turn on to my station
Baby, don't be a drag
Listen to me, baby
It's understood
I got while...
In cowboy boots
Groovin' to my daddy
On my daddy radio
Can you dig it like i dig it
Can you dig it at all


Well, you got everything you need
Don't touch that dial
Stakin', i'm not fakin'
Till you dig it a while
I know i'm right
I just can't be wrong
Need a little help
To make you come undone
So relax
Loosen your noose
Tune in or tune out
To get into the groove
Can you dig it like i dig it
Can you dig it with me
When the rockabilly move it
You might break up the scene

Angel, angel from the sky
Came right down to sit beside
This lonely achin' heart of mine
That now, folks, feels sublime
Now i'm a walkin', talkin'
And a spinnin'
I can't keep my face from grinnin'
Things are roarin', soarin'
Oh what a feelin'
And to think it's just beginnin'


Angel with a lariat
Carry me home sweet chariot
With you


Angel toss your rope around
Yank me up from the ground
Sound the trumpets, send a hue
Ascending angels through the blue


I feel emancipation
No, i don't worry
Set my bugaboos down to worry
There's no aggravation
There's no worry
For i have found a true love surely


Yeah
With you
Angel!

I love the brunettes, blonds
And the redheads, too
Love 'em since i don't know when
I love 'em all right down the line
And then i start all over again
I tart all over again

I got the bull by the horns
In a downhill drag
Things are better than they ever have been
I missed a lot of lovin'
In my lifetime
But i'm never gonna do it again, no
Never gonna do it again


Well, as a kid in school
I guess i done pretty well
All hung around me then
But i acted shy
And i let 'em get away
But i'm never gonna do it again, no no
Never gonna do it again


Over this town
Tryin' to find the places you've been
And i missed your huggin'
On the first go around
But i'm never gonna go around again
Well, let's go round again
