Lyrics
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder
Lightnin' was desire
This old house would've burnt down
A long time ago
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me something
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 there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today
But how can a person
Go to work in the mornin'
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 something
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
