(Cash:) |
|
When his stolen gold has turned to rust, |
|
He rides off in a cloud of dust, |
|
Lookin' for a border he can cross. |
|
She'll stand by and watch him go, |
|
Wonderin' if he'll ever know, |
|
The hurt she's feelin' now, and what they've lost. |
|
(Jennings lead, the Highwaymen & backup singers:) |
|
Angels love bad men. That's how it's always been. |
|
They give their whole hearts when they fall. |
|
Angels love bad men. That's how it's always been. |
|
Love holds their hearts against the wall. |

(Nelson:) |
|
When his corporate day comes to an end, |
|
He rides away in his Mercedes Benz. |
|
Soon he's lost beneath the neon sky. |
|
(Kristofferson:) |
|
Outside of town, in their suburban home, |
|
She spends another night alone. |
|
Wonders what went wrong and wonders why. |
|
(Jennings lead, the Highwaymen & backup singers:) |
|
Angels love bad men. That's how it's always been. |
|
They give their whole hearts when they fall. |
|
Angels love bad men. That's how it's always been. |
|
Love holds their hearts against the wall. |
