If the sky was light
And the moon shine brightly
Then we’d be away tonight
Better chance be taken
Than love forsaken
This ain’t no mistake that I’m making.

Baby the angels are here,
Brought me a Bible and a gun,
Baby I wanted to stay with you,
But they’re saying I’d [bad word] 
Cause heaven’s a footstep away.

Well I was hoping to make it
Sometimes you put it together
Before you try
Let it take it’s course,
Because you just can’t force it
And I don’t want to break down and cry.

Baby the angels are here,
Brought me a Bible and a gun,
Baby I wanted to stay with you,
But they’re saying I’d [bad word] 
Cause heaven’s a footstep away.
