Jon Franklin
One:
He left at noon
With love in heart,
14 hours and miles ahead
He drove until
The road turned dark,
And he needed a boost again
He filled up
One last time,
Stretched his legs and cleared his head
Put himself
Back on the road,
While most were asleep in bed
Chorus:
Then he found another angel
Not the one he’d set out for
She held her hand out to him
And pulled him out of that old Ford
Maybe He thought about his family
Maybe his heart fell for his friends
Maybe she said no need to worry
One day you’ll be together again
Again
Two:
She held him tight
When she found out
Begged him not to go
He told her, Mom
I think I’m in love
This is the only way I’ll know
She played their favorite song
Asked him to wait just for a while
He promised to be back
On Christmas Day
Then he gave her that last smile
Chorus:
But he found another angel
Not the one he’d set out for
She held her hand out to him
And pulled him out of that old Ford
Maybe He thought about his family
Maybe his heart fell for his friends
Maybe she said no need to worry
One day you’ll be together again
Bridge:
Now he knows first-hand amazing grace
And he’s heard how sweet the sound
Met his savior face to face
Once was lost, but now he’s found
Chorus:
He found another angel
Not the one he’d set out for
She held her hand out to him
And pulled him out of that old Ford
He’s probably running streets of glory
He’s probably dancing down streets of gold
Probably hugging everybody that passes by
Seeing the things that no one knows
He often thinks about his family
His heart falls for his friends
But he knows there’s no need to worry
One day they’ll be together again.
Again.
End.
