I am an old woman 
 Named after my mama 
 My old man is another 
 Child who's grown old 
 
 If dreams were thunder 
 Lightning was desire 
 This old house 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 
 And I can hold on to 
 To believe in this living
 Is such a hard way to go 
 
 When I was a young girl 
 Had me a cowboy 
 None much to look at 
 Just a free rolling man 
 That was a long time ago
 No matter how I tried 
 These years just rolled on 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 
 I can hold on to 
 To believe in this living 
 Is such a hard way to go 
 
 Flies in the kitchen 
 Hearing them there buzzing 
 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 
 
 Make me an angel 
 Flies from Montgomery 
 Make me a poster 
 Of an old rodeo 
 Just give me one thing 
 But I can hold on to 
 To believe in this living 
 Is such a hard way to go
