Angelita Lyrics & Chords By The Backsliders

I took a walk down the railroad tracks
Had it in my mind I won't be coming back
I never thought the rain could turn me around
'Til I was standing so wet and cold
As I was standing right next to her dying bed
I shoulda kissed her 'fore she took her last breath
But I ain't never been that bold

So I took my shotgun to the stamping ground tree
Just to see if the devil'd get the best of me
Six days dancing in the fires of hell
and I walked away unburned
But I kept hearing Angelita laugh
when she seen how they's trying
to cut me clean in half
I never thought my friends would put me in the ground
But that's a lesson that I best learned

Listen to the windows start to rattle and shake
These fools are bringing me more than I care to take
Leaving me nothing but the question why
I've got to spin so fast I'm gonna fall or fly

This weight's hard up on my shoulders
Man, I need to take a ride
Today the wind blows a little bit colder
And I've got nothing left inside
And I've got nothing left inside

I threw them flowers on the railroad tracks
Wondering how my life fell between the cracks
But ashes to ashes and rust to rust
To all that's been lost or sold
But I kept seeing Angelita's eyes every time
she turned away from them long good-byes
I should've held her 'til my very last breath
Ah man ain't that funny
