[Verse 1]
I've got an angel that's following me
She's watching wherever I go
But I've done a lot that she just shouldn't see
And there's things I don't want her to know

[Chorus]
So, look away, little angel
Hide your eyes from the trouble I've sown
'Cause I might take a ride with the devil tonight
And I don't think that you oughta go
Oh, no

[Verse 2]
Now I'm not sayin' I'm proud of my ways
And I'm sure that you've seen worse before
But lately, I've been just dyin' to see
What's hidin' behind that door

[Chorus]
So, look away, little angel
Hide your eyes from the trouble I've sown
'Cause I might take a ride with the devil tonight
And I don't think that you oughta go
Oh, no
[Bridge]
The drugs and the drinkin' has got me to thinkin'
I can't win with the cards that I've drawn
Now, it's tough to say, but I know that it's true
This has gone on for way too long

[Verse 3]
There comes a time when you realize
You've gotten in over your head
When you find yourself with no angel in sight
You'll be wishing that you never said

[Chorus - Variation]
Look away, little angel
Hide your eyes from the trouble I've sown
'Cause I might take a ride with the devil tonight
And I don't think that you oughta go
No, I don't think that you oughta go
No, I don't think that you oughta go
