Leaving An Angel - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Girl I hate to hang out out to dry

With a bleeding heart and broken home

But I dropped this line to say goodbye

You Should have saw it comin', guess I was born for runnin'

And I can't pay the debts I owe

There's many a man lookin for me

I keep a pistol under my pillow

Feel I'm goin' crazy, I've been good for nothin' lately

Oh and when I'm gone, I hope you mention my name

I hope you care about the man

After you place the blame

Let our years turn to gold

And never wither away and be forgotten

I don't wanna be forgotten

Tell our boys that I'm real proud

I watched 'em grow up tough as nails

An there'll be no cryin' allowed

They'll know what to do

I'm sure they'll take good care of you

Kiss My baby girl goodbye

I'm sure she'll miss me most of all

I can't bare the thought of the tears she'll cry

She's so sweet and tender, Lord I pray she will remember

Oh and when I'm gone, I hope you'll mention my name

I hope you care about the man

After you place the blame

Let our years turn to gold

And never wither away and be forgotten

I don't wanna be forgotten

I'm takin the pick up truck, but I left a little bit of money

No it ain't to much but

It'll get you through the month ahead

I left my Browning Rifle and the old guitar my daddy gave me

Put 'em up and pass 'em down

Yeah, they're all I have to give

And maybe one day you can give 'em to my grandkids

I know its been hard lovin me

You've taken the scars and worn 'em well

And you'd starve yourself to feed this family

I'm sick and shameful, I'm leavin an angel
