She saw the ragged edge of nowhere from a fast moving train
G G F FWatched the scenery fly by with a fever in her brain
Em Em A7 A7Seemed like a good time at the time, rolling down that track
Now the only thing she wants is a one-way ticket back
SheUs a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired
D Bm G BmHer party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired
D Bm D BmAnd that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings
G G F FSoon as she can find her wings, oh oh ohh-ohhh
G G F F[instrumental; see tab at end for one riff]
She's so very hungry for a piece of Mama's pie
Served up on Grandma's china after church on Sunday night
Oh, now Papa's probably turning out the lights and heading up the stairs
And the wayward child he never talks about still turns up in his prayers
She's a homeward looking angel and she must be feeling mighty tired
Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired
And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings
C D G A A
Oh, yeah... [instrumental]
F FThere's a road ahead and a road behind
All roads lead to home this time
She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired
She went gunning for glory but her bullets all misfired
And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings
Soon as she can find her wings, oh oh ohh-ohhh
Homeward looking angel
