   ANGELS WORKING OVERTIME    Deana Carter





G#

She was born at a rest stop at the Kansas state line

G#

In the back of a dodge in the summertime

C#

Her mamma names her Indiana like the license plate

C#

And with the hum of the tires on the interstate

          G#

She was crying

G#

They left her at a Denny's up in Colorado

G#

In a blanket with her name written on a note

            C#

It said, "Forgive us, Lord, for not taking her

C#

But this child has a better chance of making it

     G#            D# 

In someone else's arms



CHORUS:

G#             C#   G#                C#  

It's a crazy thing Fate has perfect wings

G#                    C#                  D#       G#   

All the way down the line angels working overtime-ime

                                         (angels working overtime)





G#

She was raised in a place called Shining Wells

G#

But she never fit in and everyone can tell

C#

That she didn't belong in some prairer town

C#

When she turned eighteen she bought a ticket out 

      G#

On a grey hound

G#

They stopped a few minutes out of Santa Fe

G#

She got out for a smoke and they drove away

C#

She hitched a ride with a boy right out of school

C#

Said I'm headed out west and she said , "me too."

    G#       D#

It felt so right



Go to chorus, to lead,

G#

Took a couple hundred miles till they fell in love

G#

And forever was the only thing good enough

           C#

And in a moment of passion in a motel room

C#

They held on tight and the aim was true

             G#              C#    G#          C#    

Now their counting down the days dreaming all night

             G#           D#

And in an apartment in L.-A.



Go to chorus

G#

She was born at a rest stop at the Kansas state line

C#              D#      G# 

Angels working overtime-ime
