ANGELS FROM MONTGOMERY



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 were desire
This old house would have 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 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.
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 livin? is just a hard way to go

There?s flies in the kitchen
I can hear ?em in there buzzin?
And I ain?t done nothin?
Since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin?
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 livin? is just a hard way to go
