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
