Rodney atkins angel's hands lyrics

Written by Rodney Atkins, Nicole Witt, Bobby Tomberlin



She said I've been up all night and half-scared to death

I can smell the liquor on your breath

I payed for your rehab with my ira

Boy your daddy'd be turning in his grave

She said son I've done all mama can do

I can save myself but I can't save you



He said I wished you and jesus would get off my back

They said his truck was doing 90 when he crashed

I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes

Even god cries when an angels hands are tied



They said honey grown-ups do this all the time

And tears welled up in their little girls eyes

They said now it's not something that you've done

It just that mommy and daddy don't get along



She said do you guys mean that you need a time out

And that daddy's gonna move to a different house

They said you'll have two bedrooms you're a lucky kid

She said what about checkers, where's he gonna live

I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes

Even god cries when an angels hands are tied



She prays, angels watch me through the night

Stay by my side til morning light

God bless mama, god bless daddy

Keep us together and happy

I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
