Angel from Montgomery

I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
With dreams of thunder, lightning was desire
This old house would have 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 one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is such a hard way to go

When I was a young girl, I had me a cowboy
He wasn't much to look at, just a free rambling man
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
The years just roll 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 living is such a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen, well I can hear 'em there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
Well how the hell can a person go to work in the morning
To come home in the evening and have 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 living is such a hard way to go

To believe in this living is such a hard way to go
