Three Angels
Three angels on my shoulder
I'm always lookin' over
Three angels on my shoulder there for life
When they put me in my grave
I know I will be saved by three angels waitin' on the other side
Johnny said life's though so you gotta be thougher
Gotta keep your eyes on the prize
Cause there's ain't nobody else lookin' out for you
And it doesn't pay to sit and wonder why
They're all just tryin' to get somethin' from you
You know they'll only drag you down
Be smart with your money 'cause it really isn't funny
From where you're standing it's a long way down
Three angels on my shoulder
I'm always lookin' over
Three angels on my shoulder there for life
When they put me in my grave
I know I will be saved by three angels waitin' on the other side
You gotta find a little piece of peace everyday
Joey told me with a little smile
I could see it in his eyes, through his rose tinted glasses
That that's the way he tried to live his life
Don't make no excuses for who or what you are
You don't owe nobody anyway
And don't let yourself get caught up in the struggles
Everybody tries to pull you into everyday
Three angels on my shoulder
I'm always lookin' over
Three angels on my shoulder there for life
When they put me in my grave
I know I will be saved by three angels waitin' on the other side
By three angels waitin' on the other side
And Dee Dee, my brother, you were unlike any other
A talent that is truly hard to find
A poet from the street, you were angry, you were sweet
Patron saint of the lower east side
And I know you tried hard to be a good Dee Dee
I know you tried hard, no doubt
But I got to tell you something, I know it in my heart
You're only gone because you let the bad Dee Dee out
Three angels on my shoulder
I'm always lookin' over
Three angels on my shoulder there for life
When they put me in my grave
I know I will be saved by three angels waitin' on the other side
By three angels waitin' on the other side
By three angels waitin' on the other side
