I am an old woman
named after my mother
my old man is another
child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder
lightning was desire
This old house
it would've burned 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
It wasn't much to look at
it was a free ramblin' man
But there was a long time
no matter how I tried
the years theyjust rolled by
like a broken down dance
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 them
there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing
since I woke up today
But how the ****
can a person
go to work
in the morning
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 livin'
is just a hard way to go
To believe in this livin'
is just a
hard way
to go...
