No one can ever say we lacked in passion
Truth is we were burning like a flag
And looking back I couldn't tell you when it happened
Has it been twenty years
or twenty days?
I should have picked her over whiskey
And laid down my foolish pride
I knew it felt different when she kissed me
I guess I've never been
kissed goodbye
Well I've tried other women But it never felt the same
I think what hurts the most is knowing I'm to blame
And I wish that I could change it And it wouldn't be this painful
Cause the truth is that the devil
had no business Running with an angel
Well your eyes are like a North Alabama sunset
And your smile's like Florida in the spring
Well I keep on booking shows but you ain't come yet
Even though you're in every song I sing
Can't say I don't deserve it
For putting you through hell
People keep asking if it was worth it
I tell them it's still too soon to tell
Well I've tried every whiskey From Jim to Jack to Crown
But losing you's the only thing that burns me going down
And I wish that I could change it And it wouldn't be this painful
But the truth is that the devil had no business
Running with an angel
Truth
is you're better off alone
And the best thing I could do is let you go
Holding you is heaven But losing you is hell
But I should have known the devil
had no business Running with an angel
Running with an angel
Running with an angel
