"I am an old woman
named after my mother
my old man is another
child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder
lightning was desire
this old house it 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 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
wasn't much to look at
just a free ramblin' man
That was a long time ago
no matter how hard i tried
the years just rolled by
like a broken down damn
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 them there buzzin'
i ain't done nothing since i woke up today
but how the hell can a person
go to work in the morning
and 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
that i can hold on to
to believe in this livin'
is just a hard way to go".
