Brantley Gilbert Indiana's Angel lyrics

Grew up on state north of Kentucky
A family far from rolling in the money
Seven brothers and sisters to feed and love
Granddaddy said she kept her eyes on the sky
Watching all the little birds fly
Staring at heaven like her lost home

None of her dreams held fame and fortune
She wanted a husband and children that loved her

Spreading her wings, her feet left ground in Indiana
Driving down south just to marry my daddy
Leaving the life she'd known and loved behind
She never cussed or drank, kept food on the table
Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
She's a God sent blessing, willing and able as Indiana's angel

Baby, back home your daddy's dying
About then the king of perfect timing
Walked in with liquor on my breath
I sit and watch all of her tears glisten
She said, "Son, you'll learn to listen
A man stands taller from his knees"


Now I'll never forget how much that hurt
But she said, "Son, one day I'll be gone
You won't have to hear these words"

Spreading her wings, her feet left ground in Indiana
Driving down south just to marry my daddy
Leaving the life she'd known and loved behind
She never cussed or drank, kept food on the table
Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
She's a God sent blessing, willing and able as Indiana's angel

Indiana's angel

Spreading her wings, her feet left ground in Indiana
Driving down south just to marry my daddy
Leaving the life she'd known and loved behind
She never cussed or drank, kept food on the table
Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
She's a God sent blessing, willing and able as Indiana's angel
