We Can't All Be Angels, Murphy's third and final album for MCA, was released in 1997. Murphy said in a 1997 interview that he had intended for this album to be experimental in nature, adding that he "wanted to create just a different tone," he said. I just wanted a new sounding track." "All Lit Up in Love" and "Just Don't Wait Around" were two singles from "We Can't All Be Angels, peaking at #25 and #37 on the country chart, with "All Lit Up in Love" and "Just Don't Wait Around "Til She's Leavin."

Trick Pony released another one of Murphy's compositions a year later, on their 2002 album On a Mission. In addition to that, Murphy co-wrote album cuts for several other musicians, including Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, and Hank Williams, Jr.
