Angel From Montgomery

I am an old woman

Named after my mother

My old man's another

Child that's grown old

If dreams were lightnin'

And Thunder were desire

This old house 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 onto

To believe in this livin'

Is such a hard way to go

When I was a young girl

I had me a cowboy

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 onto

To believe in this livin'

Is such 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'

And 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 onto

To believe in this livin'

Is such a hard way to go
