Songs About Angels

[Jim Colyer]

I am pitching this song to Carrie!

Jim Colyer

Driving east from California
Through the Arizona desert
I made a stop for some lunch
And a tank of gas
There was an old Native American
On a bench outside a restaurant
He started talking
When he saw my guitar

He said, I like Songs About Angels
Red western sunsets
I like the feeling
Of autumn in the air
I like Songs About Angels
Music from heaven
Their golden wings
Are like the halo that you wear

It's a long 3 days to Nashville
So I hurried down my food
The CD we were doing
Needed one more song
But before I hit that Interstate
I wrote down these lines
The words he said
Are still running through my mind

He said, I like Songs About Angels
Red western sunsets
I like the feeling of autumn
In the air
I like Songs About Angels
Music from heaven
Their golden wings are like
The halo that you wear

solo

I like Songs About Angels
Music from heaven
Their golden wings are like
The halo that you wear

That's very nice! I always wished Carrie had chosen to record this song (it was pitched to her)
