Granny's Angel

He was standing on the corner again

While she was praying for God to forgive his sin

And out of nowhere, two inches of lead

To him it's still a mystery, how the bullet missed his head?

But granny cried, "Lord Jesus, help my baby boy

'Cause he ain't doin' the things that he's supposed to," yeah, yeah

Then she cried, "Lord Jesus, it would bring me joy

To see him live to be someone who loves you"

'Cause you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel

See it's about time you get one of your own

I'm telling you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel

'Cause whatcha gonna do when granny's gone

Stuck in traffic at a quarter 'til nine

Shirley's cursing, oops that fatal wreck on my side

No compassion 'cause she don't realize

Had she been any earlier, boom it would have been her life

But this is what happened

But Granny cried, "Lord Jesus, help my baby girl

To do the things she knows that she's supposed to"

Then she cried, "Lord Jesus, it would mean the world

To see her live to be someone who loves you"

'Cause you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel, no, no

See it's about time you get one of your own

I'm telling you can't keep livin 'on granny's Angel

'Cause whatcha gonna do when granny's gone

See we've all been a little guilty of

Living on the prayers of somebody else from time to time

Sometimes it's the prayers of your mama

Sometimes it's the prayers of your daddy

And sometimes it's the prayers of your little old granny

But the truth of the matter is God didn't have any stepchildren

He has no grandchildren, only sons and daughters

So I'm here to let you know

You can't keep livin' on somebody elses Angel

'Cause it's time you get one of your own

'Cause you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel

It's about time you get one of your own

I'm telling you, you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel

I said whatcha gonna do when granny's gone

I said whatcha gonna do when, think about it

Whatcha gonna do when grannys gone

'Cause you can't keep livin' on

No you can't keep livin' on

Whatcha gonna do when

Whatcha gonna do

Whatcha gonna do when

I'm asking you

Whatcha gonna do when

Whatcha gonna do when gone
