VerseG
Grew up one state north of Kentucky
D
Family far from rollin' in the money
EmDC
7 brothers and sisters to feed and love
G
Granddaddy said she kept her eyes on the sky
D
Watchin' all the little birds fly
EmDC
Staring at heaven like her lost home
EmDC
None of her dreams held fame and fortune
EmDC
She wanted a husband and children that loved her
ChorusG
Spreading' her wings her feet left ground in Indian
D
Driving down south just to marry my daddy
EmDC
Leaving the life she'd known and loved behind
G
She never cussed or drank, kept on the table
D
Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
EmDC
She's a God sent blessing wiling and able
As Indiana's angel
G
Baby back home your daddy's dying
D
'Bout then the kind of perfect timing,
EmDC
Walked in with liquor on my breath
G
I sit and watch all of her tears glisten
D
She said, "Son you'll learn to listen,
EmDCA man stands taller from his knees"
EmDC
And I'll never forget how much that hurt
EmDC
She said, "Son one day I'll be gone you wont have to hear these words"
ChorusG
Spreading' her wings her feet left ground in Indian
D
Driving down south just to marry my daddy
EmDC
Leaving the life she'd known and loved behind
G
She never cussed or drank, kept on the table
D
Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
EmDC
She's a God sent blessing wiling and able
EmDC
As Indiana's angel , Indian's angel
ChorusG
Spreading' her wings her feet left ground in Indian
D
Driving down south just to marry my daddy
EmDC
Leaving the life she'd known and loved behind
G
She never cussed or drank, kept on the table
D
Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
EmDC
She's a God sent blessing wiling and able
As Indiana's angel
