Charlie Major Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
he didn´t make it home last night
he went out on the town
he had himself a time
when it was time for leaving, he was much too tight
he climbed behind the wheel and it cost him his life
he thought he knew better, and the odds he could beat
he said
she can´t
It can´t happen to me
i got an angel watching over me
It can´t
It can´t happen to me
It´s always someone else, you see
It can´t
It can´t happen to me
No It can´t happen to me
Well I knew a young man
Had it all going his way
but the carried with him
A deep seeded pain
He stepped over the line to find some escape
They found him one night, lying face down in the rain
he thought he was stronger and the odds he could beat
he said
I´ll make it allright, don´t you worry for me
It can´t
It can´t happen to me
i got an angel watching over me
It can´t
It can´t happen to me
It´s always someone else, you see
It can´t
can´t happen to me
No It can´t happen to me
I wish I had a dollar for every time I´ve heard it said
never get to me, cause I´m quicker than the rest
the night is closing in and the hounds are at my heels
But, I´m always one step a head
No It can´t
can´t happen to me
i got an angel watching over me
It can´t
can´t happen to me
It´s always someone else, you see
It can´t
can´t happen to me
No, no, no It can´t
can´t happen to me
i got an angel watching over me
