Lyrics to Riding With the Angels

Katie was a kid, I guess she hid her thoughts from everyone

Went to school at eight, she was never late

That girl didn't know the meaning of fun

Every night Katie prayed to God above

Daddy gave her everything but love

She woke up one day, said "I'm on my way"

Her mummy read the letter, and it did say:

"I'm on my way, I'm on my way"

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

She's having fun, fun, fun

She's having fun, fun, fun

They rode around and every boy in town tried to win her back

But it was no go, 'cause she rode with Joe, he was the leader of the pack

People ran for cover when they rolled to town

Stand in the way, and baby, you were run down

Every night after light

You could always bet they'd be in a fight

There's gonna be a fight

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

She's having fun, fun, fun

She's having fun, fun, fun

The night was black, rain on the ground

People on the street, they could hear the sound

Out on the road, engines so loud

There must have been a hundred in the crowd

Katie and Joe, they were riding too fast

She knew that ride would be her last

Engine screamed, you could hear her shout

"Look out, look out, look out!"

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

She's having fun, fun, fun

She's having fun, fun, fun

Riding with the angels
