Blessed an Outlaw With an Angel

The first time I heard her cry Felt the tears wailing up in my eyes Her little hand squeezed mine so tight A thousand questions Running through my mind I don't know how This was supposed to work But I'll be working on it For the rest of my life How could someone give a gift To a man standing waist deep in The lake of fire With his hands on the streets of gold And he damn sure don't deserve A life as precious as hers But she's here now And she's taken my heart and soul To the good Lord up above I'm forever thankful For blessing this outlaw with an angel She's gonna learn from my mistakes She's gonna get burned by the flame Yeah she'll shoot for the stars When she takes aim Cause she's got more Than my last name She'll laugh then cry And get her heart broke And find someone That makes her smile Yeah someday she'll be a gift To a man standing waist deep in The lake of fire With his hands on the streets of gold I sure hope he'll deserve A life as precious as hers Cause she'll be there She'll take his heart and soul And I sure hope That he's forever thankful That I gave an outlaw my angel Then someday I'll get the call Daddy you're gonna be a grandpa And I'll tell the story Of how it all began The day that God gave a gift To a man standing waist deep in A lake of fire With his hands on the streets of gold And nothing on this earth Could change the love I have for her She's my little girl Who became my whole world To the good Lord up above I'm forever thankful Till my last breath I'll be forever thankful For blessing this outlaw with an angel
