作词 : DiPiero, Tillis
She saw the ragged edge of nowhere from a fast moving train 
Watched the scenery fly by with a fever in her brain 
Seemed like a good time at the time, rolling down that track 
Now the only thing she wants is a one-way ticket back 
She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired 
Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired 
And that girl looking back in the mirror, 
Lord, made such a mess of things 
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings 
Soon as she can find her wings 
She's so very hungry for a piece of 
Mama's pie 
Served up on 
Grandma's china after church on 
Sunday night 
Oh, now Papa's probably turning out the lights and heading up the stairs 
And the wayward child he never talks about still turns up in his prayers 
She's a homeward looking angel and she must be feeling mighty tired 
Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired 
And that girl looking back in the mirror, 
Lord, made such a mess of things 
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings 
There's a road ahead and a road behind 
All roads lead to home this time 
She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired 
She went gunning for glory but her bullets all misfired 
And that girl looking back in the mirror, 
Lord, made such a mess of things 
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings 
Soon as she can find her wings 
Homeward looking angel
