Homeward Looking Angel

<br>(Pam Tillis/Bob DiPiero)<br><br>She saw the ragged edge of nowhere from a fast moving train<br>Watched the scenery fly by with a fever in her brain<br>Seemed like a good time at the time,rolling down the track<br>Now the only thing she wants is a one-way ticket back<br><br>She`s a homeward looking angel and she`s feeling mighty tired<br>Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired<br>(She went gunning for glory but her bullets all misfired)<br>And that girl looking back in the mirror,Lord,made such a mess of things<br>She`s leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings<br>Soon as she can find her wings<br><br>She`s so hungry at heart for a piece of Mama`s pie<br>Served up on Grandma`s china after church on Sunday night<br>Papa`s probably turning out the light and heading up the stairs<br>And the wayward child he never talks about still turns up in his prayers<br><br>She`s a homeward looking angel and she`s feeling mighty tired<br>Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired<br>(She went gunning for glory but her bullets all misfired)<br>And that girl looking back in the mirror,Lord,made such a mess of things<br>She`s leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings<br>Soon as she can find her wings<br><br>There`s the road ahead and the road behind<br>All roads lead to home this time<br><br>She`s a homeward looking angel and she`s feeling mighty tired<br>Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired<br>(She went gunning for glory but her bullets all misfired)<br>And that girl looking back in the mirror,Lord,made such a mess of things<br>She`s leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings<br>Soon as she can find her wings
