Riding With the Angels lyrics

When Katy was a kid, 

I guess she hid her thoughts from everyone.

Went to school at eight, she was never late.

That girl didn't know the meaning of fun.

Every night, Katy prayed to God above.

Her daddy gave her everything but love.

She woke up one day, said, "I'm on my way."

Her mummy read the letter and it did say,

"I'm on my way, I'm on my way."

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

She's having fun, fun, fun

She's having fun, fun, fun

They rode around and every boy in town 

tried to win her back.

But it was no go 'cause she rode with Joe, 

he was the leader of the pack.

People ran for cover when they rolled to town.

Stand in the way and, baby, you were run down.

Every night after light,

you could always bet they'd be in a fight.

There's gonna be a fight.

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

She's having fun, fun, fun

She's having fun, fun, fun

The night was black, rain on the ground.

People on the street, they could hear the sound.

Along the road, engines so loud,

there must have been a hundred in the crowd.

Katy and Joe, they were riding too fast.

She knew the ride would be her last.

Engines screamed, you could hear her shout,

"Look out, look out, look out!"

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels

She's having fun, fun, fun

She's having fun, fun, fun

Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels
