I've been an alley cat I lived nine lives

I'm like a fine wine I'm better with time

Like a diamondback rattlesnake

I have the rattle if it had the shake



(Pre Chorus)

Until you gimme something to believe in

Until you gimme something to sink my teeth into



(Chorus)

Now when the winds cry Angela

Angela I'll be there for you

And when the storms scream Angela

Angela I'll be there



I've been a poet always tongue in cheek

I've seen some scenes man you'd never believe

And like a supercharged rocket ride

You know they'd have gasoline if they had the time



(Pre-Chorus)(Chorus)



Oh, Angela

Oh, Angela

When the winds cry Angela



Save me--I'm a suck soul sucker in this whiskey ghost town

Get me in your saddle and ride me into the ground



Oh, Angela

Oh, Angela

Now when the winds cry Angela

Baby, baby I'll be there
