One of the best memories I have of recording this song, was watching Matt Kelly play the Pedal Steel solo on it. It was so unexpected to me, but took the song to a whole new level.
lyrics
Yah there’s an angel from Indiana, singing angel from Montgomery
Singing out of all the words that I know
Yah there’s too many miles and too many roads
Two more hours then I gotta go
And you’ll be traveling outta this town alone
Yah and Jacksonville’s a ways from the Yellowhammer state
But don’t you worry your headlights will take you home
And I know that soon I’m on my way, I’m back at sea to sail again
Yah sometimes I just wish you could’ve stayed
But it’s all there for you
And it’s all I can do
To say goodbye and let you travel home
But I’ll see you again
Where the stars they land
So fly on my friend
Just find a place in your heart for me
Yah find a place in your heart for me
For when you land
She thinks I talk a little funny, and she laughs at all my money
She says that don’t matter you make smile now just the same
Yah she thinks that where all like this
In northern ways and hometown bliss
Yah she thinks that we all sound a little strange
But it’s all just the same, when I hear you call my name, I’ll be looking back and I will say
That I’ll see you again
Where the stars they land
So fly on my friend
Just find a place in your heart for me
Yah find a place in your heart for me
For when you land
See you sitting there next to me, Hear you singing out like a bird
Can’t get you out of my head no matter how I try
See I was never looking to find, something that could feel this right
But there you were and I couldn’t look away
(Chorus)
