lyrics

The winter winds came blowing in
Kids are asking where you’ve been
Since you left home like fire from the barrel of a gun

Sweet sixteen
Burning 21 candles
Out on the road
Don’t tell a soul

She returned to graduate
Found rock and roll and the interstate
To the man-made mountains of Manhattan in a borrowed car

She wants to forget
But she can’t remember
Her folks never asked
They didn’t wanna know

We met at a bar
She gave me her number
And sang me a song
That I never knew

As the world goes round
Some things remain
Said the angel to the slave

I wear a copper bracelet on my wrist
Her father gave her once as a birthday gift
That bears a veteran’s name she found engraved on a monument wall

We’re trying to survive
We’re looking for answers
We got our own gods
We ain’t looking to sell

I try and say pure
But everyone gets corrupted
I think I’m falling in love
But Megan don’t know

As the world goes round
Some things remain
Said the angel to the slave
When it all goes down
Some things remain
Till the angels call out your name
