I am an old woman named after my mother

My old man is another child that's grown old

If dreams were thunder and lightning 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

Want much to look at  just a free ramblin  man

But that was a long time and no matter how I try

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 all their buzzin

But I aint done nothin since I woke up today

I am kind of person goes to work in the morning

Come home in the evenin and have nothin 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
