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
