Song: Angel And The Badman
Singer: Johnny Cash
There was a man
whose deeds were dark as night
And quite by chance
he rode into the light
A man
wild as a dust devil with
no place to run
Livin' by his wits
and by his gun
He met a girl like none
he'd ever known
She cared not for
the wild oats he had sewn
And so he laid his gun down
and set his spirit free
Began livin' in respectability
But his old ways of thinking
wouldn't die
Could not forget the old creed
he lived by
And the good and bad
and the right and wrong
kept fightin' for his soul
Till his heart and mind both
went out of control
But now the old saloon had lost
its spell
What once was laughter now
was livin' hell
And the hookers guns and drinking
in his life were out of place
And in his mind
he saw an Angel's face
So he burned all his bridges
in a day
And the Devil deeds were done
and laid away
And he rode out a better man
than when he first rode in
And the Angel got
the Badman in the end
