Angel from Montgomery lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man has another
Child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder
And lightnin' was desire
This old house would've burnt down
At a long time ago

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing
Since I woke up today
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
Come home in the evening
And have nothing to say?

[Chorus]
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
