Where Angels Hang Around
(James Otto / Monty Criswell)
A hundred miles out of Little Rock
Windshield full of rain
I-40 eastbound drivinÂ’ while I pray
SheÂ’s asleep in the backseat
HoldinÂ’ tight to her teddy bear
SheÂ’s got her daddyÂ’s smile and her mommaÂ’s hair
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us cominÂ’ back

Chorus:
Across the Mississippi
A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland
Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children
Where God sends his mercy raininÂ’ down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around
All the deals IÂ’ve made with God
The conversations that weÂ’ve had
TryinÂ’ to accept things I could not understand
I wanna walk her down the aisle
While those church bells ring
See her get the chance
To live all her dreams
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us cominÂ’ back
Chorus
So sleep tight baby while these four wheels roll
Â’Cause just beyond the clouds thereÂ’s a ray of hope
ThereÂ’s a place for children
Where God sends his mercy raininÂ’ down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around
