And though I never got her name Or time to find out anything I loved her just the same And though I rode a different road And sang a different song I'll love her till my last breath's gone Like a river made of silver Everyone came running to the scene I was shot down in cold blood By an angel in blue jeans
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Late that night she got away I chased her to the turnpike Then lost her where the music never plays And though I rolled upon the stones And fell into the water I'll love her till my judgment day Like a sunrise made of white lies Everything was nothing as it seems I was shot down in cold blood By an angel in blue jeans
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
I hear voices calling all around I keep falling down I think my heart could pound right out of me I see a million different ways To never leave this maze alive
I woke up in somebody's arms Strange and so familiar Where nothing could go wrong Barely alive or nearly dead Somehow awake in my own bed And there you are Like a highway headed my way Life is but a dream I was shot down by your love My angel in blue jeans
