Oscar The Angel (Album Version) - Randy Travis[00:00:00]
Written by:Donald AlanSchlitz Jr[00:00:01]
Oscar was an angel and he used to walk the streets[00:00:07]
Shoutin' out some prophecy to everyone he'd meet[00:00:12]
He was a local fixture like a cop out on a beat[00:00:18]
Folks said he'd been shell shocked long ago[00:00:24]
And more than that no one seemed to know[00:00:29]
Oscar was a walker at least four miles twice a day[00:00:36]
The entire length of Main Street he'd be shoutin' all the way[00:00:42]
And I had no idea where he'd heard the things he'd say[00:00:48]
But he was not your normal voice of doom[00:00:53]
It was a happy song sung slightly out of tune[00:00:59]
And he'd say everyone will die and go to heaven[00:01:05]
And we will all be angels some day[00:01:11]
What you are in this world don't count for nothin'[00:01:17]
'Cause we are only children we're just lost along the way[00:01:23]
But we will all be angels some day[00:01:29]
Well I worked at the rialto I sold tickets at the door[00:01:38]
And Oscar he'd come by most ev'ryday 'bout half past four[00:01:43]
And he'd pay to see some movie that he'd seen ten times before[00:01:49]
But mostly we'd just let him in for free[00:01:55]
And he'd watch five minutes then he'd come and talk to me[00:02:00]
And he'd say everyone will die and go to heaven[00:02:06]
And we will all be angels some day[00:02:13]
What you are in this world don't count for nothin'[00:02:18]
'Cause we are only children we're just lost along the way[00:02:24]
But we will all be angels some day[00:02:30]
Well it's going on ten years now since I left my home town[00:02:39]
And I went home last summer for a week I hung around[00:02:45]
I looked out for Oscar he was nowhere to be found[00:02:51]
Someone said they finally had to commit him[00:02:57]
And he died before they had time to forget him[00:03:02]
Now I'm not about to argue Oscar's train had jumped the tracks[00:03:08]
But I'll bet my last dollar on a plain and simple fact[00:03:14]
Oscar never said a word about me behind my back[00:03:20]
And the way the I was raised to understand[00:03:26]
Well that bone makes him the better man[00:03:32]
And he'd say everyone will die and go to heaven[00:03:37]
And we will all be angels some day[00:03:44]
What you are in this world don't count for nothin'[00:03:49]
'Cause we are only children we're just lost along the way[00:03:55]
But we will all be angels some day[00:04:01]
Ya we will all be angels someday[00:04:07]
