Barbara Mandrell & Waylon Jennings



When his stolen gold is turned to rust

He rides off in a cloud of dust

Looking for a border he can cross

She’ll stand by and watch him go

Wondering will he ever know

The hurts she’s feeling now and what they’ve lost



Angels love bad men

That’s how it’s always been

They give their whole hearts when they fall

Angels love bad men

That’s how it’s always been

Love holds their hearts against the wall



When his corporate day comes to an end

He rides away in his Mercedes Benz

Soon he’s lost beneath the neon skies

Outside of town in their suburban home

She spends another night alone

Wonders what went wrong and wonders why



Angels love bad men

That’s how it’s always been

They give their whole hearts when they fall

Angels love bad men

That’s how it’s always been

Love holds their hearts against the wall



Angels love bad men

That’s how it’s always been

They give their whole hearts when they fall

Angels love bad men

That’s how it’s always been

Love holds their hearts against the wall



(Repeat and fade)
