Oil Town Angel      Larry Dunn ©07

 Verse
She’s an oil town angel, been a rodeo queen
Can quote lines from Shakespeare, catch rainbows in a stream
Ride bare back, tame a hellcat down, gentle as a lamb
Have all her jealous rivals eating from her hand
I’ve been from Georgia to the Golden Gate
From Maine to New Orleans
And she’s still the finest figure ever walked into my dreams
Chorus
You can see forever on a Wyoming night
Hollywood stars never shined so bright
As the West Coast gets drunk again on its hustle and spin
I’m going back to that angel if she’ll take me in
Verse
Things will change as things do but they’re often concealed
Takes a better eye than mine sometimes for them to be revealed
I’d been blinded by a stubborn pride that I could ill afford
And like a useless possession, finally threw it overboard
Now there’s silver beneath the tarnish and stain
With a little lovin’ care it may shine again
Chorus
We could see forever on a Wyoming night
Hollywood stars never shined as bright
As the seven sisters rise into the autumn skies again
I’m going back to that angel if she’ll take me in
Pre-chorus
I’ve been from Georgia to the Golden Gate
From Maine to New Orleans
And she’s still the finest figure ever walked into my dreams
2nd Chorus
