Angel from Montgomery

i am an old woman
named after my mother
my old man is another
child thats grown old
dreams were thunder
and lightning was desire
this old house would have burnt down
a long time ago
make me a 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 just the hard way to go
when i was a young girl
well i had me a cowboy
we weren't much to look at
just a free rounding man
that was a long time
and no matter how hard i try
the years just flow by
like broken down van
make me an angel
that flys from montgomery
make me a poster
of an old rodeo
just give me one thing
that i can hold onto
to believe in this living
is a hard way to go
theres flies in the kitchen
i can hear em in there buzzing
and i ain't done nothing
since i woke up today
how in the hell can a person
go to work in the morning
and 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 onto
to believe in this living
is just a hard way to go
to believe in this living
is just a hard way to go
