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 lightning was desire

This old house would've 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

Wasn'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 living is just a hard way to go
