Angel From MontgomeryI am an old womanNamed 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 |
