One Angel (feat. Dolly Parton)

The dominos kept fallin' in slow motion

Every doctor's call and diagnostic test

I drove that hundred mile just to see you the whole while

Cussin' God and the Devil in one breath

You knew I'd had my fill of the Bible

But you made it clear you loved me anyway

You never let on you were scared of dyin'

But you'd reach out for my hand

And I'd listen while you pray

So here's three fingers of tequila

One finger for the cancer

One finger for the poison they sent pourin' through your veins

One finger for the preacher, 'cause I don't believe the Jesus that you love so much

Would put you through such pain

But I do believe one angel knows my name

When you gave up on the chemo and went home

We wrote about the horses, kids, and cows

And you said you'd send me seedlings you were starting

And you thanked me for the way

I still made you laugh out loud

So here's three fingers of tequila

One finger for the cancer

One finger for the poison they sent pourin' through your veins

One finger for the preacher, 'cause I don't believe the Jesus that you love so much

Would put you through such pain

But I do believe one angel knows my name

(One sweet angel)

Now, there's a Roany grazin' peaceful where you're layin'

And a horse-tail woven in between your hands

And I'm pullin' on your boots to take 'em ridin'

Like I promised you I'd do

Every time I got a chance

So here's three fingers of tequila

One finger for the cancer

One finger for the poison that they sent pourin' through your veins

One finger for the preacher, 'cause I don't believe the Jesus that you love so much

Would put you through such pain

But I do believe one angel knows my name

(One angel, one sweet angel)
