Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am an old woman
Named after my Mother
My old man's another
Child that's grown old
[Verse 2]
If dreams were thunder
Lightning was desire
This old house would've burned down
Now long time ago
[Verse 3]
Make me an angel
Fly us from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
[Verse 4]
Just give me one thing, oh
That I can hold on to
To believe in this living
Is just a hard way to go
[Verse 5]
When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
Wasn't much to look at
And just a free gambling man
[Verse 6]
But that was a long time
And no matter how hard I tried
The years just flown by like the broke down dam
[Verse 7]
Make me an angel
Fly us from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
[Verse 8]
And just give me one thing Lord
That I can hold on to
To believe in this living
Is just a hard way to go
[Verse 9]
There's fly's in the kitchen
I can hear them buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
[Verse 10]
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening
With nothing to say?
[Verse 11]
Make me an angel
Fly us from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
[Verse 12]
And just give me one thing Lord
That I can hold on to
To believe in this living
Is just a hard way to go
[Verse 13]
Well, make me an angel
Fly us from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
[Verse 14]
And just give me one thing Lord
That I can hold on to
To believe in this living
Is just a hard way to go
[Verse 15]
To believe in this living
Is just a hard way to go
To believe in this living's
Is just a hard way to go
