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 lightenin'
And thunder was desire
This old house would've burned 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

When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man

Now that was a long time
No matter how I tried
This dreams gone 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

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear 'em there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing
Since I woke up today, yeah

How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
Come home in the evening
And got nothing 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
One more time

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery (yeah)
Make me a poster of an old rodeo (ooh)
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
