Angels In Alabama by Murphy Elmore Lyrics

[INTRO]
They broke out the news
And i broke into a bottle of whiskey
With every intention of drowning my pain
I was hell bent, damn determined
I wouldn't let anyone see
These tears rollin' down my face
But then i heard her voice
The lump grew in my throat so big
Man i lost the strength to talk
And she said son its gonna be okay
And right there i lost control
'cause

[Chorus]
She's the reason i believe in miracles
The strongest woman that i know
She's a fighter like no other
Let me tell yuh brother
She's what makes this house a home
She's the one that taught me to walk by faith
Had me sittin' in that front row
Yea every sunday mornin'
Sunny or stormin', it didn't matter
Yea she's the reason i believe
In angels in alabama
[VERSE]
Well i put that bottle away
And got down on my knees
Me and God had a heart to heart
I said i know we ain't talked in a while
But im beggin' you please
Seeing her like this
Lord its tearin' me apart

[Chorus]

[BRIDGE]
The doctor tells me she's got her gloves on
And that she's ready for this fight
And i said man i know thats true
She's been fightin' her whole life

[Chorus]

[OUTRO]
Angels in alabama
Oh i could show you
An angel in alabama (2x)
She's my angel in alabama
They broke out the news
And i broke into a bottle of whiskey
