Bonnie Raitt - Angel From Montgomery (5.1 mix) lyrics

I am an old woman Named after my mother My old man is another Child who's grown old If dreams were thunder And 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 That I can hold on to To believe in this livin' 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 ramblin' man That was a long time And no matter how I tried 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 livin' Is just a hard way to go There's flies in the kitchen I can hear all their buzzin' And I 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 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 livin' Is just a hard way to go
