Angel With A Lariat lyrics

Two cigarettes in an ashtray
My love and I in a small cafe
A stranger came along
And everything went wrong
Now there's three cigarettes
In an ashtray
I watched her take him from me
Now his love is no longer my own
Now they have gone
And I sit alone
And watch one cigarette
Burn away

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

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

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

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes
When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go ooo oooo
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden.

I can't promise you things like big diamonds rings
But you don't find roses growing fields of clover so better think it over

Watch your step polka
Watch your step polka
Watch your ... step
Watch your step polka
Watch your step polka
Watch your ...

Step

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 start 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

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

Hey yo, told you before
Tell you when I find a decoy
Sittin' in the water
With your hopes up hgh
Have you takin' a nosedive hard, boy
Hey yo, told you so
They'll be aimin' at you

You know I told you so
But I didn't say it wouldn't get boring
From the...to the...
To the buckaroos
Hopin' that you'll choose the real thing
Dance on, don't you know
We got somethin' to do

Last night I heard
A ruckus down the road
No time to lose and so away I go
I saw the lights
At the junction...
Pulled in my wheel
And checked the show
(Turn me round)
(They're) Dancin' round, round, round
(Turn me round)
Square dancin' round, round, round
And down and round
(Turn me round)
They're dancin' round, round, round
(Turn me, turn me, turn me)
They're dancin' round
