Fallen Angel Songtext / Lyric

She stepped off the bus out into the city streets

Just a small town girl with her whole life

Packed in a suitcase by her feet



But somehow the lights didn't shine

As bright as they did on her mama's TV screen

And the work seemed harder and the days seemed longer

Than she ever thought they'd be



But you know you got to stick to your guns when it all comes down

'Cause sometimes you can't choose

It's like heads they win and tails you're gonna lose



Win big, mama's fallen angel

Lose big, livin' out her lies

Wants it all, mama's fallen angel

Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life



Now she found herself in the fast lane livin' day to day

Turned her back on her best friends, yeah

And let her family slip away






Just like a lost soul caught up in the Hollywood scene

All the parties and the limousines

Such a good actress hiding all of her pain

Trading her memories for fortune and fame



Just a step away from the edge of a fall

Caught between heaven and hell

Where's the girl I knew a year ago?



Win big, mama's fallen angel

Lose big, livin' out her lies

Wants it all, mama's fallen angel

Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life



Too much too soon or just a little too late

'Cause when her ship came in

She wasn't there and it just wouldn't wait



Win big, mama's fallen angel

Lose big, livin' out her lies

Wants it all, mama's fallen angel

Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life



Win big, mama's fallen angel

Lose big, livin' out her lies

Wants it all, mama's fallen angel

Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life
