Intro: (x2) verse 1 I had a friend 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, "I'll make it alright, 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, It can't happen to me verse 2 Well, I knew a young man He had it all going his way But he 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 be alright, 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, It can't happen to me Bridge I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard it said "They'll 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 ahead 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, It can't happen to me No, No, No It Can't It can't happen to me I've got an angel watching over me
