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 takin' the bus
With a Cadillac parked in the driveway
Or a thousand miles down a dirt road
When there's a new four-lane highway

It's like blowin' 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 takin' the bus
With a Cadillac parked in the driveway
Or a thousand miles down a dirt road
When there's a new four-lane highway

It's like blowin' 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?

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