Angels from Montgomery

I am an old woman

Named after my mother

My old man is another

Child that's grown old

If dreams were lightning

And thunder were desire

This old house would have 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 livin' is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl

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 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 livin' is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen

I can hear 'em in there buzzin'

And I ain't done nothin'

Since I woke up today

How the hell can a person

Go to work in the mornin'

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 livin' is just a hard way to go

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
