I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were lightning and thunder was desire
This old house would've 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 no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Won't you 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 them 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
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
