Angel cries and holds her pillow tight Home alone again for another night Her man's at work that keeps him far from home He calls her drunk at night on the telephone She cries sometimes when she feels so all alone She says Lord there's got to be A better life for me Despite these things I see I know there's got to be There's got to be There's got to be Barry works the clubs all night long Back to an empty room all alone His age is showing from drinking the whiskey down He'd like to quit and try and settle down He cries sometimes when there's nobody else around He says Lord there's got to be A better life for me Despite these things I see I know there's got to be There's got to be There's got to be There's got to hold on And soon you'll see Just try and be strong Cause you know there's got to be A better life for me Despite these things I see I know there's got to be There's got to be There's got to be I know there's got to be I know there's got to be There's got to be There's got to be I know there's got to be There's got to be
