Angels Need a Place

I woke up this mornin'
I woke up 'bout ten to three
I woke up scared to death
'Least I woke up in Tennessee 
I left my house to get a lager
I left my house so I could think
Told my wife "I'm just gettin' water"
But we both know what I really needs'a drink
Just a few days until' I'm a father
And my thoughts are gettin' heavy enough to sink
I need a safe place to raise my daughter
And Angels need a place to spread their wings
