Last night before I went to sleep
My knees dropped to the floor
I turned me eyes up to the sky
And I prayed, please help me, Lord
You know I've sowed my wild oats
And now the fun's all gone
And then I heard these tender words
And put them in my song
Infamous angel, come on home
To someone who loves you
And knows you needed to roam
Grab your things, a ticket's waiting
At the bus depot
For: Infamous Angel, destination: Home
I heard Heaven's rejoicing
As the tears broke from my eyes
And all at once it lifted
The weight from my past life
I found a pen and I left a note
On the dresser drawer
Infamous angel, she don't live here anymore
Infamous angel, come on home
To someone who loves you
And knows you needed to roam
Grab your things, a ticket's waiting
At the bus depot
For: Infamous Angel, destination: home
Then I hurried out the back door
As quickly as I could
I went flying down two flights of stairs
'Til on the street I stood
And there I took that final look
At my old neighborhood
Then I ran down the street proclaiming
Infamous angel, gone for good
Infamous angel, going home
To someone who loves her
And knows she needed to roam
She grabbed her things and claimed the ticket
At the bus depot
For: Infamous Angel, destination: Home
Infamous Angel, destination: Home
