The title lyric has been rolling around in my head for a while. Not sure this is the best use for it (or even what it means), but what's done is done. In hindsight, this might have worked well as an Avett-style stomper.
lyrics
Now I ain't no great man, but I'm livin' my life
And if someone needs help, no need to ask twice
If I stumble & falter, I might cry out
I might reach a hand, I might be too proud
Sometimes I feel useless, don't know what to say
We all go through the dark at the end of the day
Sometimes I feel stronger when I kneel down to pray
But sometimes the angels just get in the way
Sometimes the angels just get in the way
Now I ain't no rich man, but I can't decide
They say gold is valuable, but I say they lied
I got 4 strong walls, a roof & a floor
Without time with your family, tell me what's it all for
Sometimes I feel useless, don't know what to say
We all go through the dark at the end of the day
Sometimes I feel stronger when I kneel down to pray
But sometimes the angels just get in the way
Sometimes the angels just get in the way
I know angels keep watching as I sleep through the night
Even when I do wrong, though I try to do right
When I turn my back, they refuse to take flight
Now I ain't no young man, but I know what I've learned
You can't come back on the bridges you burn
You can't take to the air, you can't grown wings
But you can sure as hell smile when the angels sing
Sometimes I feel useless, don't know what to say
We all go through the dark at the end of the day
Sometimes I feel stronger when I kneel down to pray
But sometimes the angels just get in the way
Sometimes the angels just get in the way
Sometimes the angels just get in the way
Sometimes the angels just get in the way
