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 lightning, and thunder was desire
This old house would have burned down a long time ago

Make me an angel who 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 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 rambling man
But that was a long time, and no matter how I tried
The years just flow by like a broken down dam

Make me an angel who 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 just a hard way to go

Now there's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzing
I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
Tell me, how the hell can a person go to work in the morning
Come home in the evening and have nothing to say

Make me an angel who 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 just a hard way to go

Make me an angel who 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 just a hard way to go
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
