I am an old woman,named after my mother My father’s another child that’s grown old If dreams were thunder, lightning was desire This old house would’ve burnt down a long time ago Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery Paint me a poster from an old rodeo Just give me one thing that I can hold onto To believe in this livin’ is just a hard way to go When I was a young girl, now I had me a cowboy Weren’t much to look at, just a free-ramblin’ man But that was along time, and no matter how I try The years just roll by like a broken-down train Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery Paint me a poster from an old rodeo Just give me one thing that I can hold onto To believe in this livin’ is just a hard way to go There’s flies in the kitchen I can hear’em out there buzzin’ And I ain’t done nothin’ since I woke up today How the hell can a person go to work in the momin’ Come home in the evenin’ and have nothing to say Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery Painf me a poster from an old rodeo Just give me one thing that I can hold onto To believe in this livin’ is just a hard way to go Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery Paint me a poster from an old rodeo Just give me one thing that I can hold onto To believe in this livin’ is just a hard way to go To believe in this livin’ is just a hard way to go
