Angel From Montgomery

[Verse: Alex Blue]

I am an old woman named after my mother

My old man is another child that's grown old

If dreams were lightning, thunder were desire

This old house would have burnt down 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 living is just a hard way to go

[Verse: Rita Wilson]

When I was a young girl, well, 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 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 living is just a hard way to go

[Verse: Alex Blue/Rita Wilson]

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em, they're buzzing

And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today

How the hell can a person go to work in the morning

And 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 living is just a hard way to go

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