Angel From Montgomery

I am an old woman named after my mother My old man is another child that's grown old If dreams were thunder lightning was desire This old house would have burnt down, oh, 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, Lord, I can hold on to To believe in this living is just a hard way to go When I was a young girl, oh, I had me a cowboy He wasn't much to look at, just a free rambling man But that was a long time and no matter how I try Those 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, Lord, 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 buzzing 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, Lord, I can hold on to To believe in this living is just a hard way to go Believing in this living is a hard road to hold Oh, believing in this living, oh, is, oh, it's so hard Oh, this living, oh, it's so hard To believe in this living, hard way to go To believe in this living is just a hard, oh, so hard way to go
