(With Waylon Jennings)
When his stolen gold is turned to rust
He rides off in a cloud of dust
Looking for a border
He can cross
She'll stand by and watch him go
Wondering will he ever know
The hurts she's feeling now
And what they've lost
Angels love bad men
That's how it's always been
They give their whole hearts
When they fall
Angels love bad men
That's how it's always been
Love holds their hearts
Against the wall
When his corporate day comes to an end
He rides away in his Mercedes Benz
Soon he's lost beneath
The neon skies
Outside of town in their suburban home
She spends another night alone
Wonders what went wrong
And wonders why
Angels love bad men
That's how it's always been
They give their whole hearts
When they fall
Angels love bad men
That's how it's always been
Love holds their hearts
Against the wall
Angels love bad men
That's how it's always been
They give their whole hearts
When they fall
Angels love bad men
That's how it's always been
Love holds their hearts
Against the wall
Angels love bad men
That's how it's always been
They give their whole hearts
When they fall
