I've been an alley cat i lived nine lives
I'm like a fine wine i'm better with time
Like a diamondback rattlesnake
I have the rattle if it had the shake

(pre chorus)
Until you gimme something to believe in
Until you gimme something to sink my teeth into

(chorus)
Now when the winds cry angela
Angela i'll be there for you
And when the storms scream angela
Angela i'll be there

I've been a poet always tongue in cheek
I've seen some scenes man you'd never believe
And like a supercharged rocket ride
You know they'd have gasoline if they had the time

(pre-chorus)(chorus)

Oh, angela
Oh, angela
When the winds cry angela

Save me--i'm a suck soul sucker in this whiskey ghost town
Get me in your saddle and ride me into the ground

Oh, angela
Oh, angela
Now when the winds cry angela
Baby, baby i'll be there
