Dream With Angels

https://suno.com/song/4fc25ce7-9621-4d14-89d5-0d7ab3e7c53cVerse 1

Learned to drive with a bent-rim prayer

Dashboard blinkin’ red and white

Mama said, “Son, life ain’t fair”

I said, “Neither is a Friday night”

Shook hands with the wrong damn crowd

Paid full price for borrowed time

Every promise I said out loud

Cost me more than what was mine

Pre-Chorus

I ain’t clean, I ain’t pretendin’

But I’ve stood where truth still stands

Chorus (Hook)

When I lay my head down, don’t wake me

If the morning never calls

I’ve paid my dues in full tonight

I’ve hit every wall

Tell the devil I ain’t afraid

I’ve earned these scars

If I don’t wake up when the sun comes up

I’ll be dreamin’ with the angels

Out past the bars

Verse 2

Loved women who loved the fight

More than the man beside ’em then

Seen saints sell out for pride

Seen sinners help their friends

Truth don’t live in black or white

It waits till you’ve bled enough

I’ve burned it down just to find out

What’s left is still tough

Pre-Chorus

I ain’t askin’ for forgiveness

Just a place to land

Chorus

When I lay my head down, don’t wake me

If the morning never calls

I’ve paid my dues in full tonight

I’ve hit every wall

Tell the devil I ain’t afraid

I’ve earned these scars

If I don’t wake up when the sun comes up

I’ll be dreamin’ with the angels

Out past the bars

Bridge (short)

If heaven’s quiet, I’ll take it

If hell’s loud, I’ve been there before

Final Chorus

When I lay my head down, don’t wake me

If the morning never calls

I’ve paid my dues in full tonight

I’ve hit every wall

If I don’t wake up when the sun comes up

I’ll be dreamin’ with the angels

Out past the bars

  • I think it's unfortunate that your Fridays haven't gone well. I agree with the statement truth don't live in black or white. life is nothing but shades of grays or whiter shades of pale ;)

  • Your songs are playable all kinds of bars, club, etc.. mine are relegated to incense burning cafes, where people sit on floors sipping chai tea pretending to understand :)

    ha ha ha . probably a bong is included , Wow man I dig

  • Okay, I have to listen to this and not worry myself about how it was created.

    Great lyrics and a vocal to die for. But then I never expect anything else from you. Loving those lead guitars too. You should be rich and famous!! A great track Elvis. I mean that.

    Incense burning cafes? We don't have too many of those over here but we do have some awful venues!! I try to avoid playing them these days.

    Those are lovely lines!

    I'm reading "Out past the bars" as meaning he is currently in jail.

    Not sure it's got quite enough of a new angle in the chorus. Feels a bit like stuff that's been done before.

    Still an easy listen though!

  • Duuno its open ended , I'll let this one go , its test the waters like always . I got "The Charms " Tracks back from Nashville , Now learn it and sing it Sunday
