He was standing on the corner again
|
While she was praying for God to forgive his sin
|
And out of nowhere, two inches of lead
|
To him it's still a mystery, how the bullet missed his head?
|
|
But granny cried, "Lord Jesus, help my baby boy
|
'Cause he ain't doin' the things that he's supposed to, " yeah, yeah
|
Then she cried, "Lord Jesus, it would bring me joy
|
To see him live to be someone who loves you"
|
|
'Cause you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel
|
See it's about time you get one of your own
|
I'm telling you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel
|
'Cause whatcha gonna do when granny's gone
|
|
Stuck in traffic at a quarter 'til nine
|
Shirley's cursing, oops that fatal wreck on my side
|
No compassion 'cause she don't realize
|
Had she been any earlier, boom it would have been her life
|
|
But this is what happened
|
But Granny cried, "Lord Jesus, help my baby girl
|
To do the things she knows that she's supposed to"
|
Then she cried, "Lord Jesus, it would mean the world
|
To see her live to be someone who loves you"
|
|
'Cause you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel, no, no
|
See it's about time you get one of your own
|
I'm telling you can't keep livin 'on granny's Angel
|
'Cause whatcha gonna do when granny's gone
|
|
See we've all been a little guilty of
|
Living on the prayers of somebody else from time to time
|
Sometimes it's the prayers of your mama
|
Sometimes it's the prayers of your daddy
|
And sometimes it's the prayers of your little old granny
|
|
But the truth of the matter is God didn't have any stepchildren
|
He has no grandchildren, only sons and daughters
|
So I'm here to let you know
|
You can't keep livin' on somebody elses Angel
|
'Cause it's time you get one of your own
|
|
'Cause you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel
|
It's about time you get one of your own
|
I'm telling you, you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel
|
I said whatcha gonna do when granny's gone
|
I said whatcha gonna do when, think about it
|
Whatcha gonna do when grannys gone
|
|
'Cause you can't keep livin' on
|
No you can't keep livin' on
|
Whatcha gonna do when
|
Whatcha gonna do
|
Whatcha gonna do when
|
I'm asking you
|
Whatcha gonna do when
|
Whatcha gonna do when gone
|
