Momma used to teach
And Preacher used to preach
there's angels watching over me
their here to shield you
so you dont yield to the devil
when your soul gets weak
but they're hard to hear
when you're jammin gears
and they're always hanging back
yeah they try to chase but if they wanna save me
they better step on the gas

cause I'm livin faster than my angels can fly
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine
im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly

theres days i regret this hitch in my step
and scars on my boots and hands
all those times i rushed to get growed up
and to hurry to become a man
and the promises i made
and the hearts i break all in the name of fun
yeah id apologize
but i aint go no time for no tie me up slow me down love

cause I'm livin faster than my angels can fly
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine
yeah im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly

yeah i slowed down, i aint what i was
still they aint got a prayer
of ever catching up
cause i was born to run, born to run, born to run

yeah

faster than my angels can fly
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine
yeah im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly
