She was born at a rest stop on the kansas state line
in the back of a dodge in the summer time
her momma named her indiana like their license plate
and with the hum of the tires on the interstate
she was cryinand'
They left her at a dennyand's up in colorado
in a blanket with her name written on a note
that said, andquot;forgive us lord for not takinand' her
but this child has a better chance of makinand' it
in someone elseand's armsandquot;
And itand's a crazy thing
fate has perfect wings
all the way down the line
angels working overtime
She was raised in a place called cheyenne wells
but she never fit in and everyone could tell
that she didnand't belong in some prairie town
and when she turned eighteen she bought a ticket out
on a greyhound
They stopped a few minutes out of santa fe
she got out for a smoke and they drove away
she hitched a ride with a boy right out of school
he said andquot;iand'm headed out westandquot; and she said andquot;me too
if thatand's all rightandquot;
And itand's a crazy thing
fate has perfect wings
all the way down the line
angels working overtime
It took a couple hundred miles and'til they fell in love
they knew forever was the only thing good enough
and in a moment of passion in a motel room
they held on tight and their aim was true
now theyand're countinand' down the days
and dreaminand' all night in an apartment in l.a.
And itand's a crazy thing
fate has perfect wings
all the way down the line
angels working overtime
And itand's a crazy thing
fate has perfect wings
all the way down the line
angels working overtime
She was born at a rest stop on the kansas state line
angels workinand' overtime
she was cryinand'
she was cryinand'
she was cryinand'
