Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am an old woman, named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were lightning, and dreams was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
[Verse 2]
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 living is just a hard way to go
[Verse 3]
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just a free rambling man
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
These dreams go by like a broken down dam
[Verse 4]
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 living is just a hard way to go
[Verse 5]
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzing
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
[Verse 6]
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 living is just a hard way to go
[Verse 7]
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 living is just a hard way to go
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
