If it was up to my pride, I'd be gone
If it was up to my mind, I'd be moving on
If it was up to my shoes
I'd be layin' rubber on the street
Anywhere else, that's where I'd be
And ain't it just my luck
When every other part of me gets unstuck
You'd already be gone if it was up to me
But my heart's got a memory
My heart's got a memory
If it took a train, I'd be on that track
If it took a drink, I'd be knockin' one back
If one little pill could set me free
Honey I'd O.D., yeah I'd O.D.
And ain't it just my luck
When every other part of me gets unstuck
You'd already be gone if it was up to me
But my heart's got a memory
My heart's got a memory
Sometimes it feels like my heart's got a mind of it's own
And it's decided it don't wanna leave you alone
But if I had my way
I wouldn't feel this pain
And maybe someday baby
I'd kick this thing
But I really don't know when that might be
'Cause my heart's got a memory
My heart's got a memory
Momma used to teach,
And Preacher used to preach,
there's angels watching over me,
their here to shield you,
so you dont yield to the devil,
when your soul gets weak,
but they're hard to hear,
when you're jammin gears,
and they're always hanging back,
yeah they try to chase but if they wanna save me,
they better step on the gas,
chorus
cause I'm livin faster than my angels can fly,
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine,
im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly
theres days i regret this hitch in my step,
and scars on my boots and hands,
all those times i rushed to get growed up,
and to hurry to become a man,
and the promises i made
and the hearts i break all in the name of fun,
yeah id apologize but i aint go no time for no tie me up slow me down love,
chorus
cause I'm livin faster than my angels can fly,
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine,
yeah im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly
yeah i slowed down, i aint what i was,
still they aint got a prayer,
of ever catching up,
cause i was born to run, born to run, born to run
yeah
faster than my angels can fly,
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine,
yeah im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly
