Song Description

A teenage girl is thumbing a ride on the free-way but no-one is stopping. She has been living rough because she left her home with the hope of finding a better life after loosing both of her parents to drug overdoses. She still has faith that things will get better even after all she has been through, and as she is thumbing a ride, she is searching for someone who has the eyes of an angel.

Lyrics

Searching for an angels eyes: Lyric by, Raymond Fry

Heading down the free-way, My thumb raised in the air
A backpack on my shoulders, and tangles in my hair
All my dreams are nightmares, of momma in the dirt
I'm running from these memories, of papa and his hurt

Sunrise is far behind now
Darkness fills my skies
I hold a faith my heart won't surrender
As I'm searching for an angels eye's

Hush now papa's hurting, I always heard him say
I knew that he'd loved momma, his heart lived by her grave
He rarely left the bathroom, I often thought him dead
He'd come out hours later, his shirt all bloodstained red

Sunrise is far behind now
Darkness fills my skies
I hold a faith my heart won't surrender
As I'm searching for an angels eye's

Flashes of a shoe lace, blood splatters on the door
A spoon behind the cistern, brown powder on the floor
Papa's left the bathroom now, he's gone to sleep in momma's bed
I'm happy they're together now, but sad that their both dead

Sunrise is far behind now
Darkness fills my skies
I hold a faith my heart won't surrender
As I'm searching for an angels eye's

Rising after sleeping, my bags already packed
No telling where I'm heading, try to not look back
