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

While 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

2^nd Chorus
