TFT: Tim McGraw




Angel Boy
Tim McGraw
My mother said
There's only one way
 A sweet angel boy
Narrow and straight
 Time
It has passed
Teachings
They fade
 Now her angel boy
Has gone astray

I've held the hand of the Devil
Felt his breath on my skin
 Dip me into the water
Wash me again
 Can I still be forgiven
For all of these things
 Or have I gone too far now
 Have I lost my wings

I found a priest
I spoke my mind
 Asked if I'd sinned
One too many times
 He said
My son
You're only a man
Then I said
Sir
You don't understand

I've held the hand of the Devil
Felt his breath on my skin
 Dip me into the water
Wash me again
 Can I still be forgiven
For all of these things
 Or have I gone too far now
 Have I lost my wings

God help us all
For what we have done
 We've lost our way
We can't find the Son
 We make our beds
We seal our fate
 Is there still time
Or is it too late

We've held the hand of the Devil
Felt his breath on our skin
 Dip us into the water
Wash us again
 Can we still be forgiven
For all of these things
 Or have we gone too far now
 Have we lost our wings
We've held the hand of the Devil
Felt his breath on our my skin
 Dip us into the water
Wash us again
 Can we still be forgiven
For all of these things
 Or have we gone too far now
 Have we lost our wings

Have we lost our wings


If You’re Reading This
Tim McGraw
If you're reading this
 My Momma’s sitting there
 Looks like I only got
A one way ticket over here
 Sure wish I
 Could give you one more kiss
 And war was just a game we played
When we were kids
Now I'm laying down my gun
 I'm hanging up boots
 I'm up here with God
And we're both watching over you

So lay me down
 In that open field
Out on the edge of town
 And know my soul
 Is where my momma always prayed
 That it would go
 And if you're reading this
 I'm already home

If you're reading this
 Halfway around the world
 I won’t be there to see
The birth of our little girl
 I hope she looks like you
 I hope she fights like me
 Stand up for the innocent and weak
I'm laying down my gun
 I'm hanging up boots
 Tell dad I don't regret
That I followed in his shoes

So lay me down
 In that open field
Out on the edge of town
 And know my soul
 Is where my momma always prayed
 That it would go
 And if you're reading this
 I'm already home

If you're reading this
 There’s going to come a day
 When you'll move on
 And find someone else
 And that's Okay
 Just remember this
 I'm in a better place
 Where soldiers live in peace
 And angels sing Amazing Grace

So lay me down
 In that open field
Out on the edge of town
 And know my soul
 Is where my momma always prayed
 That it would go
 And if you're reading this
If you’re reading this
 I'm already home

  2. I really like Tim McGraw. I'm glad I never heard that second song though when my son was over in Iraq.

  4. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Yes, I can imagine. I didn't realize how well it tied in with the first song until after they were both up.
