Jamey Johnson's song "Angel" is about a broken friendship that has turned into a legal battle, with the protagonist struggling to determine who is right and wrong in the situation. The phone call he receives from his former friend sounds angry and out of character, leaving him confused and questioning their relationship. The song explores the theme of the blurred line between good and evil, as the protagonist grapples with whether he is fighting against a demon that is after his soul or sending an angel to hell. The lawyers involved in the conflict are profiting from the heartache and sadness caused by the breakdown of the friendship, adding to the protagonist's frustration and sense of injustice. As the song progresses, Heaven is fading, and the devil seems to be having a ball, highlighting the ongoing battle between good and evil in the world. The song ultimately leaves the listener with the message that sometimes it's difficult to understand who is right or wrong in a situation, and it's essential to stay true to oneself and make choices based on one's own values and beliefs.
