Angel In My Pocket

Got an angel in my pocket  

I walk around with all the time 

When the mean ole world starts pickin' on me 

My angel starts to shine  

 

A tiny glow from my front pocket  

In my faded Levi jeans  

Gives me enough strength to make it through  

Damn near anything  

 

And when it shines, shines, shines 

Lord it shines  

 

Well I picked myself back up  

More times than I've been knocked down  

Broken bones and hearts on motorcycles  

Ridin' at the speed of sound  

 

But that angel in my pocket  

Always gets me home to you  

Where my secrets are safe, the love we make 

Feels raw and pure and true 

 

And I sure do miss you darlin' 

When I'm gone more than half the time 

And on nights when the tears are fallin' 

Well my pocket shines, shines, shines 

 

Well I hurt myself a million ways 

Thinkin' I don't deserve you 

And survived the dark with my angel's light 

Somehow made it through 

 

Now the universe is smiling 

It's got other plans for me 

It put an angel in my pocket  

And brought you home to me 

 

And I sure do miss you darlin' 

When I'm gone more than half the time 

On nights when the tears are fallin' 

Yeah my pocket shines, shines, shines
