RELATED: ’80s No. 1 Hit Ranked Best ‘Country Love Song Duet’ of All Time
“If you had not a-fallen, then I would not have found you / Angel flying too close to the ground / And I patched up your broken wing / And hung around a while / Trying to keep your spirits up / And your fever down,” Nelson sings throughout first verse of the emotionally-charged track before heading into the chorus: “I knew someday that you would fly away / For love's the greatest healer to be found / So leave me if you need to, I will still remember / Angel flying too close to the ground.”
The Inspiration Behind the Song Remains Unclear
“Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground” was one of several tunes Nelson wrote for Honeysuckle Rose as he contributed the entire soundtrack of the same name to the film. Other notable songs from that album, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Albums chart, include “On the Road Again,” “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,” and “Bloody Mary Morning.”
“Yeah, there are a couple,” Nelson told GQ. “‘Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground’ is one. ‘Always on My Mind’ is another.”
