[Chorus]
Said, "Angel, do you want a ride?"
Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need somebody by my side"

[Verse 1]
It's a long road that stretched from Vegas to nowhere
But it's been an even longer time
Since he found some piece of mind
And he lived off of bubblegum and cigarettes
Got his nourishment from all-night stores
Thought he'd just keep on driving
Till he outdrove his sorrow

[Chorus]
And he said, "Angel, do you want a ride?"
Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need somebody by my side"

[Verse 2]
Her feet were warm and tired, but as restless as a soul
She left with no regrets, but also no possessions did she own
Her heart was as fragile as her thin, loving arms
She's praying to God to take away her lonely
When he pulled on the side of the road

[Chorus]
And he said, "Angel, do you want a ride?"
Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need somebody by my side"

[Verse 3]
The highway goes on forever
I've seen a thousand men like him before
I've seen a thousand angels that got into the car
They're just a couple of lost souls
Looking to rekindle some forgotten dream
I hope they find what they're looking for
In the solace of the road

[Chorus]
They said, "Angel, do you want a ride?"
Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
I'm tired and I'm lonely
I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need to have somebody by my
Angel"
