I used to like making love and then gettin' up and never havin' to explain

I've always been free I never could see me dragin' no ball and chain

I like running around and being tied down never was my cup of tea

But since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me

And I'm beginning to like just sittin' and holding hands

Looking into her eyes I'm thinking bout future plans

And then I get the feelin' that the life that I'd been leadin'

Ain't all it's cracked up to be

Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me

[ steel - guitar ]

I used like to spend the night sittin' on an old barstool

Drinking wine and killing time with all over those other fools

But since you took my hand I think I understand it ain't the way it out to be

Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me

And I'm beginning to like...

Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me
