Words and music by Gino Matteo and Chris Desmond
Arranged by Gino Matteo and Chris Desmond
I know a girl, pretty little angel
Soft as a lamb, tough as tempered steel
I recall the day that I met her
She wore a silver pretzel and she changed my world, yeah, alright
She’d been with me since the beginning
Even when my bullshit started clouding our path
Shows no weakness when I need strength
She’s everything I’m not, and that’s a lot of things
Chorus: I’m on the road for months on end, I’ll be back as soon as I can
It’s the only thing I know how to do
And I know she understands
She don’t have to worry ‘bout me, she don’t have to worry
But it’s so hard to miss a lamb
She puts the good in a hopeless sinner
Challenges my spirit, to feel brighter things
Every few weeks I lose my temper
I hate when she’s right, but it’s best in the end
Chorus
When I get back to town, she’s got a kiss coming
We’ll eat cheese-less pizza, stay in bed for a week
Every time I say goodbye, it’ll take me 2 hours
I put a cross an her forehead and a kiss right on top
Chorus
So hard - extended
