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
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
