Radney Foster - Everday Angel lyrics

Miss Laura fed the hungry in the church house basement After she'd retired from teaching school She'd pick my son up in her arms on Sundays To teach him all about the golden rule I heard those stories about Selma and Tuskegee How she helped Martin fill the jails All I know is she had the strength of ten grown men Even though her hands were small and frail She was an everyday angel, the kind without wings Walking around in this world, just like you and me Angel, livin' out of love, the kind of people we could use a lot more of Just an everyday angel, everyday angel Marilyn was waiting outside my old man's office Trying to hide the bruises on her face He said you don't have to get knocked around anymore You can come and stay at our place I didn't know until I had kids of my own But I learned a big lesson that day What you do means a whole lot more Than anything you have to say Go be an everyday angel, the kind without wings Walking around in this world, just like you and me Angel, livin' out love, the kind of people we could use a lot more of Just an everyday angel, everyday angel Dave was gonna meet his wife In a coffee shop in Brooklyn When he heard the alarm sing out 9/11,he was running up stairs That he never got back down, down, d-o-w-n He was an everyday angel, earnin' his wings Trying to save people who are just like you and me Angel, living out love, the kind of people we could use a lot more of Just an everyday angel, everyday angel, everyday angel, everyday angel
