Compilation Series - Angel From Montgomery lyrics

I am an old woman named after my mother my old man is another child who's grown old If dreams were thunder lightning was desire this old house it 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 wasn't much to look at just a free ramblin' man But that was a long time 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 them there buzzin' And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today But how the hell can a person go on to work in the morning to 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
