Angel from Montgomery

I am an old woman Named after my mother My old man is another Child that's grown old If dreams were thunder And lightnin' was desire This old house would've burnt down At a long time ago Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold on to To believe in this livin' Is just a hard way to go When I was a young girl Well, I had me a cowboy He weren't much to look at Just a free ramblin' man But that was a long time And no matter how I tried Those years just flow by Like a broken down dam Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold on to To believe in this livin' Is just a hard way to go There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em they're buzzin' And I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today How the hell can a person Go to work in the mornin' And come home in the evenin' And have nothin' to say Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold on to To believe in this livin' Is just a hard way to go To believe in this livin' Is just a hard way to go
