Trouble with the law in Travis County
I was in jail when PawPaw found me
He bailed me out for the second time
He said I know your life’s hard son, let me tell you ‘bout mine
He was a Korean war vet marine
Told me about all the things he’d seen
Dancin’ on Mama’s last nerve
Seven days later I signed up to serve
Angels - he keeps sending me
Angels - always defending me
Angels - save me from myself
Angels - there when it’s life or death
God thank you for sending me angels
Twelve long, hard years at war
So much to be thankful for
Brothers and sisters by my side
All those times we should’a died
The fog of war is never clear
But somehow I’m still standing here
Repeat Chorus
She arrived when I was just sixteen
Prettiest smile I’d ever seen
Married by the King at a drive-thru window
She had no way of knowing what she was getting into
All those years she stuck by my side
Not knowing if I lived or died
And when I got back from the world
She gave me a beautiful little girl
Repeat Chorus
