Angel’s Hands Lyrics by Rodney Atkins

If You’re Going Through Hell

0

[Verse 1]
She said I've been up all night and half-scared to death
I can smell the liquor on your breath
I payed for your rehab with my IRA
Boy your daddy'd be turning in his grave
She said son I've done all mama can do
I can save myself but I can't save you
He said I wished you and Jesus would get off my back
They said his truck was doing 90 when he crashed
I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
Even god cries when an angels hands are tied

[Verse 2]
They said honey grown-ups do this all the time
And tears welled up in their little girls eyes
They said now it's not something that you've done
It just that mommy and daddy don't get along
She said do you guys mean that you need a time out
And that daddy's gonna move to a different house
They said you'll have two bedrooms you're a lucky kid
She said what about checkers, where's he gonna live
I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
Even god cries when an angels hands are tied

[Verse3]
She prays, angels watch me through the night
Stay by my side until morning light
God bless mama, god bless daddy
Keep us together and happy
I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
Even god cries when an angels hands are tied
