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 thunder and lightning was desire
This old house would've 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 just a hard way to go

When i was a young girl i had me a cowboy,
Wa'n't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time, and no matter how i try,
The years just flow 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 just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen, i can hear all their buzzin'
But i ain't done nothin' since i woke up today
I am kind of person goes to work in the morning
Come home in the evenin' and have nothin' 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 just a hard way to go
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
