Pawn Shop Angel

歌詞

A few cds and an old Kodak Some china plates and a Wal-Mart sack Her mom passed down back in '92 The calloused clerk says twenty bucks They both know that's not near enough But she signs that ticket, cause the rent is due She takes the cash and wipes away her tears As another part of her disappears She's worth so much more Than this world gives her credit for She keeps givin' pieces of herself away She can't see she was made to fly In the arms of heaven's light She's fallin' cause her wings are tied and tangled A pawnshop angel Sometimes in her baby's eyes She sees his face and that Friday night In the backseat of his cavalier Nine months later he was gone She was 17 and on her own She never dreamed she'd be standing here She clinches to her mama's wedding band She opens up her fingers and says give me what you can She's worth so much more Than this world gives her credit for She keeps givin' pieces of herself away She can't see she was made to fly In the arms of heaven's light She's fallin' cause her wings are tied and tangled A pawnshop angel She's an angel And some day she'll fly She's worth so much more Than this world gives her credit for She keeps givin' pieces of herself away She can't see she was made to fly In the arms of heaven's light She's fallin' cause her wings are tied and tangled A pawnshop angel She can't see she was made to fly In the arms of heaven's light She's falling' cause her wings are tied and tangled A pawnshop angel She's an angel
