[Verse 1]
Last Gnight before I went to sleep my Cknees dropped to the floor
I turned me eyes up Gto the sky and I prayed "Please help me, D7Lord,
You Gknow I've sowed my wild oats and Cnow the fun's all gone"
And then I heard these Gtender words and I D7put them in my Gsong:
[Chorus]
GInfamous Angel come on Chome
To someone who Gloves you and knows you needed to D7roam
GGrab your things, a ticket's waiting Cat the bus depot
For: Infamous GAngel, D7Destination: GHome
[Verse 2]
I heard Gheaven's choir rejoicing as the Ctears broke from my eyes
And all at once it Glifted the weight from my past D7life
I Gfound a pen and I left a note Con the dresser drawer
"Infamous GAngel, she don't D7live here anyGmore"
[Chorus]
GInfamous Angel come on Chome
To someone who Gloves you and knows you needed to D7roam
GGrab your things, a ticket's waiting Cat the bus depot
For: Infamous GAngel, D7Destination: GHome
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Then I Ghurried out the back door as Cquickly as I could
I went flying down two Gflights of stairs 'til on the street I D7stood
And Gthere I took that final look at Cmy old neighborhood
Then I ran down the street proGclaiming "D7Angel gone for Ggood"
[Outro]
GInfamous Angels goin' Chome
To someone who Gloves her and knows she needed to D7roam
GShe grabbed her things, and claimed the ticket Cat the bus depot
For: Infamous GAngel, D7Destination: GHome
