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 lightning was desire This old house would've burnt down that 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 living 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 rambling man But that was that a long time and no matter how I try The years just flow by like a broken down dam Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery... There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzin' And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today How the hell can a person go to work in the morning And come home in the evening and have nothing to say Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery...
