Go on and cry,
Tears are sure good to heal it
I don't need to ask why
You're feeling that pain that you're feeling
There's only one reason you'd be here tonight,
He's up to his old tricks again
But you're such a treasure,
It doesn't seem right
Don't know what comes over him

It's like taken the bus,
With a cadilac parked in the driveway,
Or a thousand miles down a dirt road,
When there's a new four lane highway
It's like blowing off Christmas with Mama,
To have a drink with a stranger
Why crawl through a trench with the devil,
When you could fly with an angel?

Why you stay with him,
Girl, I just don't understand
He's out searchin' for silver,
Ignorin that gold on your hand
For the love of a woman he's throwin' away,
Most men would pay any price
Should the eyes of temptation stare me in the face,
I'd never need to think twice

It's like taken the bus,
With a cadilac parked in the driveway,
Or a thousand miles down a dirt road,
When there's a new four lane highway
It's like blowing off Christmas with Mama,
To have a drink with a stranger
Why crawl through a trench with the devil,
When you could fly with an angel?

Yea, why crawl through a trench with the devil,
When you could fly with an angel?
