INTRO Verse: 1 I meet them in the truckstops, I meet them in the bars I meet them in the parking lots and I slip into their cars They come and put their money down, they come and place their bets I swallow their indifference,but I choke on my regrets INTERLUDE Verse: 2 Sometimes they ask me questions sometimes they treat me nice You don't know what you'll get until you roll the dice You're a loser or a winner here, predator or prey I'm still not sure which one I am or how I got this way And it's hard to hear the angels Over the diesels’ hum But I know they're out there singing And I'll know them when they come And I'll rise above the neon Above this trailer park And fly like a truckstop angel with an arrow through my heart INTERLUDE Verse: 3 There's a big sky up above me there's a wasteland down below There's a long black snake of highway take you where you wanna go One day I'm gonna leave here, gonna hit my lucky streak Gonna spread my gorgeous wings and fly above all this concrete And it's hard to hear the angels Over the diesels’ hum But I know they're out there singing And I'll know them when they come And I'll rise above the neon Above this trailer park And fly like a truckstop angel with an arrow through my heart OUTRO
