Randy Travis - Oscar The Angel Lyrics

Verse 1:

Oscar was an angel and he used to walk the streets

Shoutin' out some prophesies at everyone he'd meet

He was a local fixture; like a cop out on a beat

Folks said he'd been shell-shocked long ago

And more than that for no one seemed to know

Oscar was a walker; at least four miles twice a day

The entire lenght of Main Street he'd be shoutin' all the way

And I had no idea where he heard the things he'd say

But he was not your normal voice of doom;

It was a happy song sung slightly out of tune

Refrain:

And he'd say "Everyone will die and go to heaven and we will all be angels

Someday and what you are in this world don't count for nothin' 'cause we are

Only children we're just lost along the way but we will all be angels

Someday"

Verse 2:

Well I worked at the Rialto; I sold tickets at the door

And Oscar he'd come by most everyday by half past four

And he'd pay to see some movie that he'd seen ten times before

But mostly we'd just let him in for free

Then he'd watch five minutes then he'd come and talk to me

Refrain:

And he'd say "Everyone will die and go to heaven and we will all be angels

Someday and what you are in this world don't count for nothin'. For we are only

Children we're just lost along the way but we will all be angels

Someday"

Verse 3:

Well it's going on ten years now

Since I left my hometown

And I went back last summer

For a week I hung around

I looked out for Oscar he was no where to be found

And someone said they finally had to commit him

And he died before they had time to forget him

Now I'm not about to argue Oscar's train had jumped the track

But I'll bet my last dollar on the plain and simple fact

Oscar never said a word about me behind my back

And the way that I was raised to understand

Well that bone it makes him the better man

Refrain:

And he'd say "Everyone will die and go to heaven and we will all be angels

Someday and what you are in this world don't count for nothin'. For we are only

Children we're just lost along the way but we will all be angels

Someday"

Yeah we will all be angels someday
