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 lightening was desire

Then 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 living

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 rambling man

But that was a long time

And no matter how I try

Well

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 'em there 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

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
