Angel from Montgomery

[Verse 1] I am an old woman Named after my mother My old man has another Child that's grown old If dreams were thunder And lightnin' was desire This old house would've burnt down At a long time ago [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] When I was a young girl Well, I had me a cowboy He weren't much to look at Just a free ramblin' man But that was a long time And no matter how I tried Those years just flow by Like a broken down dam [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] There's flies in the kitchen I can hear them buzzin' And I ain't done nothing Since I woke up today How the hell can a person Go to work in the morning Come home in the evening And have nothing to say? [Chorus] 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 To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
