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 woulda 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
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
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 nothin since I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin
And 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
