Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground (Live 4/30/23) - Lukas Nelson

If you had not have fallen I would not have found you Angel flying too close to the ground I patched up your broken wings And hung around a while Trying to keep your spirits up And your fever down I knew someday that you would fly away Love's the greatest healer to be found So leave me if you need to I will still remember Angel flying too close to the ground So fly on, fly on past the speed of sound I'd rather see you up Than see you down So leave me if you need to I will still remember Angel flying too close to the ground Leave me if you need to I will still remember Angel flying too close to the ground

If you had not have fallen Then I would not have found you Angel flying too close to the ground And I patched up your broken wing And hung around a while Tryin' to keep your spirits up And your fever down I knew someday that you would fly away For love's the greatest healer to be found So leave me if you need to, I will still remember Angel flying too close to the ground Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound I'd rather see you up than see you down So leave me if you need to, I will still remember My angel flying too close to the ground Leave me if you need to, I will still remember My angel flying too close to the ground

Like a lonely soul on an empty sea Behind a setting sun, I bet you can't find me I'm flying on the ground Yeah, I'm upside down 'Cause I got so high I walk in single file, on an open road My head is in the clouds, got a heart of gold I'm flying on the ground Yeah, I'm upside down 'Cause I got so high You never do what you're told You're coming out of the cold And we'll say a prayer for everyone that we know As the years go by, I'll wipe the tear from your eye All we need is love and a place we call home You never do what you're told I'm coming out of the cold We'll say a prayer for everyone that we know And the years go by, I'll dry the tears from your eye All we need is love and a place we call home You never do what you're told You're coming out of the cold And we'll say a prayer for everyone that we know As the years go by, I'll wipe the tears from your eye All we need is love and a place we call home Like a lonely soul, on an empty sea Behind a setting sun, I bet you can't find me I'm flying on the ground Yeah, I'm upside down 'Cause I got so high I'm flying on the ground Yeah, I'm upside down 'Cause I got so high I'm flying on the ground Yeah, I'm upside down 'Cause I got so high

If I told you this was only gonna hurt If I warned you that the fire's gonna burn Would you walk in? Would you let me do it first? Do it all in the name of love Would you let me lead you even when you're blind? In the darkness, in the middle of the night In the silence, when there's no one by your side Would you call in the name of love? In the name of love, name of love In the name of love, name of love In the name of Love If I told you we could bathe in all the lights Would you rise up, come and meet me in the sky? Would you trust me when you're jumping from the heights? Would you fall in the name of love? When there's madness, when there's poison in your head When the sadness leaves you broken in your bed I will hold you in the depths of your despair And it's all in the name of love In the name of love, name of love In the name of love, name of love In the name of Love I wanna testify Scream in the holy light You bring me back to life And it's all in the name of love I wanna testify Scream in the holy light You bring me back to life And it's all in the name of love Love In the name of Love The name of In the name of Love In the name of

That big eight wheeler rolling down the track Means your true loving daddy ain't coming back 'Cause I'm moving on I'll soon be gone You were flying too high for my little old sky, so I'm moving on That big loud whistle as it blew and blew Said hello to the Southland, we're coming to you And we're moving on, oh, hear my song You had the laugh on me so I've set you free and I'm moving on Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me 'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee Keep moving me on, keep rolling on So shovel the coal, let this rattle a-roll and keep moving me on Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand This rattler's the fastest in the southern land To keep moving me on, keep rolling on You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time and keep rolling on I told you, baby, from time to time But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind Now I'm moving on, I'm rolling on You've broken your vow and it's all over now, so I'm moving on You switched your engine, now I ain't got time For a trifling woman on my main line 'Cause I'm moving, you done your daddy wrong I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price 'cause I'm moving on But some day, baby, when you've had your play You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say "Keep moving on, you stayed away too long" I'm through with you, too bad you're blue, keep moving on

Your cheatin' heart will make you weep You'll cry and cry and try to sleep But sleep won't come the whole night through Your cheatin' heart will tell on you When tears come down like fallin' rain You'll toss around and call my name You're gonna walk that floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you Your cheatin' heart will pine some day, And crave the love, you threw away. The time will come when you'll be blue, Your cheatin' heart will tell on you. When tears come down like fallin' rain You'll toss around and call my name You're gonna walk that floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

Life has a funny way Of keeping me on my toes Oh how my shoulders ache Under the weight of my woes My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings Lovers and friends the same Everyone's fair game Everyone can hurt your heart When it all falls apart My tears fall On my old guitar Time and time again My surest friend My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings No matter where I go The music guides my soul Through all the ups and downs It can help turn me around My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings

If the wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right 'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business 'Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business If mind you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine Well, I got a little girl that wears her hair up high The boys all whistle when she walks by Why don't they mind their own business Mind their own business 'Cause if they mind their business, then they won't be mindin' mine Now if I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me Just mind your own business Mind your own business 'Cause if you mind your business, and you won't be mindin' mine Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned I got all that I can do just to mind my own Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business If you mind your business, you'll be busy all the time
