Lyrics:
Years he spent working to support our family
Yet time had only left him with his broken dreams
He always said that nothing in this world is free
Then with shaking hands he poured out the whiskey
and Daddy prayed
So the good lord sent an angel
To keep the devil in his place
And stop a hundred proof tornado
Swelled up with rage
Jesus knew that mama
Could uphold her mighty task
So when Daddy poured the whiskey
Mama took the glass
With every year every angry word
Mama took the brunt and dusted off the hurt
She said don't be afraid a 1000 times to me
Daddy's glass in her hand she poured out the whiskey
and Daddy prayed
So the good lord sent an angel
To keep the devil in his place
And stop a hundred proof tornado
Swelled up with rage
Jesus knew that mama
Could uphold her mighty task
So when Daddy poured the whiskey
Mama took the glass
Heaven needed an angel 10 yrs ago today
Now his sober tears are falling on her grave
and we all prayed
Lord thank you for Mama
She put the devil in his place
And stopped a hundred proof tornado
That swelled up with rage
With all her strength from heaven
She finished up her mighty task
When Daddy poured out the last drop of whiskey
An angel held the glass
When Daddy poured out the last drop of whiskey
An angel held the glass
