作词 : Prine
(written by john prine)
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder
And lightnin' was desire
This old house would'a burned down
A long time ago
Make me an angel, to fly from montgomery
Make me a poster, of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing, i can hold onto
To believe in this living is just a, hard way to go
When i was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
He wasn't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man
Aw, but that was a long time
And no matter how i try
Those years they just flow by
Like a broken-down dam
Make me an angel, to fly from montgomery
Make me a poster, of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing, i can hold onto
To believe in this living is just a, hard way to go
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear 'em a-buzzin
But i ain't done nothin
Since i woke up today
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, to fly from montgomery
Make me a poster, of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing, i can hold onto
To believe in this living is just a, hard way to go
