Album: Dreamland (2016)

Rock & Roll Angel

Came to meet me in San Francisco
He brought me roses on a suicide shifter
Took me to the courthouse
Down by Embarcadero
Rolling down the highway coast to coast
I felt your sunburned kisses
In cheap motels
He showed me visions of love
That I'll never dispel

[Chorus:]
Fare thee well my rock and roll angel
Fare thee well my rock and roll angel

Juke box playing in the back of the room
Drinking 7 & 7, singing 2Pac Shakur
Let's take your dusty Mustang to the carwash
And wake up at noon
Explosions in the sky red, white & blue
It was 4th of July
When I fell in love with you
The death of a true thing
Well, it happened too soon

[Chorus:]
Fare thee well my rock and roll angel
Fare thee well my rock and roll angel

Heard your song on the radio
Your voice was calling out
Haunting me like a ghost
Every sweet note you sang
Shot straight to my soul
Will I see you again?
A golden apparition
Riding the sky
Your wheels A-burnin
Maybe we could fly around
The places that we used to go

[Chorus:]
Fare thee well my rock and roll angel
Fare thee well my rock and roll angel
