Jesse Dayton Reviews and Interviews

Angel Like You

"An embarrassing situation that I could never make good on except by writing a song about it."

In a bar outside of nowhere
Sulkin' with a glass of sin
She was sittin' on the last stool
Cigarette in her hand
I said, "Pardon me, couldn't help but see
You look lonely just like me"
Well, I'll bet my bottom dollar
Oh I know I can treat you fine
Well I don't give two hoots or a holler
I may just spend my last dime
Well if you'll just grab that little purse
And hop in this old Pontiac
We'll hit the road honey and never look back

All that nerve, what do I deserve?
More than a face full of beer
If fools really tread where angels fear
Then what's an angel like you doin' here?

Well I was half-cocked and loaded
Like a hair trigger gun
Well I've been praised, I've been scolded
But this time I didn't know which one
Well she just laughed and said, "Jess,
I've heard this all before ...."
And then she walked right out the door

All that nerve, what do I deserve?
More than a face full of beer
If fools really tread where angels fear
Then what's an angel like you doin' here?
