Katie was a kid, I guess she hid her thoughts from everyone Went to school at eight, she was never late That girl didn't know the meaning of fun Every night Katie prayed to God above Daddy gave her everything but love She woke up one day, said "I'm on my way" Her mummy read the letter, and it did say: "I'm on my way, I'm on my way" Riding with the angels Riding with the angels Riding with the angels Riding with the angels She's having fun, fun, fun She's having fun, fun, fun They rode around and every boy in town tried to win her back But it was no go, 'cause she rode with Joe, he was the leader of the pack People ran for cover when they rolled to town Stand in the way, and baby, you were run down Every night after light You could always bet they'd be in a fight There's gonna be a fight Riding with the angels Riding with the angels Riding with the angels Riding with the angels She's having fun, fun, fun She's having fun, fun, fun The night was black, rain on the ground People on the street, they could hear the sound Out on the road, engines so loud There must have been a hundred in the crowd Katie and Joe, they were riding too fast She knew that ride would be her last Engine screamed, you could hear her shout "Look out, look out, look out!" Riding with the angels Riding with the angels Riding with the angels Riding with the angels She's having fun, fun, fun She's having fun, fun, fun Riding with the angels
