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