Faster Than My Angels Can Fly Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Momma used to teach
And Preacher used to preach
There's angels watching over me
Their here to shield you
So you don't yield to the devil
When your soul gets weak
But they're hard to hear
When you're jammin gears
And they're always hanging back
Yeah they try to chase but if they wanna save me
They better step on the gas

[Chorus]
Cause I'm livin faster than my angels can fly
Yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine
I'm bound to die out-livin life
Faster than my angels can fly
Yeah faster than my angels can fly

[Verse 2]
Theres days I regret this hitch in my step
And scars on my boots and hands
All those times I rushed to get growed up
And to hurry to become a man
And the promises I made
And the hearts I break all in the name of fun
Yeah id apologize but I ain't go no time for no tie me up slow me down love
[Chorus]
Cause I'm livin faster than my angels can fly
Yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine
I'm bound to die out-livin life
Faster than my angels can fly
Yeah faster than my angels can fly

[Verse 3]
Yeah I slowed down, I ain't what I was
Still they ain't got a prayer
Of ever catching up
Cause I was born to run, born to run, born to run
Yeah

[Outro]
Faster than my angels can fly
Yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine
Yeah I'm bound to die out-livin life
Faster than my angels can fly
Yeah faster than my angels can fly

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
