He was standing on the corner again
While she was praying for God to forgive his sin
Outta´nowhere,two inches of lead
To him it´s still a mystery
How the bullet missed his head
But granny cried,"laud Jesus,help my baby boy
´Cause he ain´t doin´the things he´s supposed to"
Then she cried,"laud Jesus,it would bring me joy
To see him live to be someone who loves you"

Chorus:
You can´t keep livin´on granny´s angel
It´s about time you get one of your own
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 the fatal wreck on the side
No compassion ´cause she don´t realize
Had she been any earlier
It would have been her life
But granny cried,"laud Jesus,help my baby girl
To do the things she knows that she´s supposed to"
Then she cried,"laud Jesus,it would mean the world
To see her live to be someone who loves you because

Repeat chorus...
