Mama used to teach
And preacher used to preach
There's Angels watching over me
There here to shield you
So you don't yield
To the Devil when your soul gets weak
But their hard to hear
When you're jamming gears
And they're always hanging back
Yeah they try to chase
But if they want to save me
They better step on the gas

Cause I'm living faster than my angels can fly
Yeah I've been wearing the wings off mine
I'm bound to die
I live and lie
Faster than my angels can fly
Yeah, faster than my angels can fly

There's days I regret
This hitch in my step
And scars on my boots and hands
All those times I've rushed
To get growed up
In a hurry to become a man
And the promises I've made
And the hearts I break
All in the name of fun
Yeah I apologize
But I've got no time
For no tie me up slow me down love

I'm living faster than my angels can fly
Yeah I've been wearing the wings off mine
Yeah, I'm bound to die
I live and lie
Faster than my angels can fly
Yeah, faster than my angels can fly

Yeah I'm slowed down
I ain't what I was
Still they ain't got a prayer
Of ever catchin up
Cause I was born to run, born to run, born to run

Faster than my angels can fly
Yeah, I've been wearing the wings off mine
Yeah, I'm bound to die
I live and lie
Faster than my angels can fly
Yeah, faster than my angels can fly
