angel from montgomery - Madcat

I am an old woman
Named after my mama
My old man is another
Child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder
Lightning was 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
And I can hold on to
To believe in this living
Is such a hard way to go
When I was a young girl
Had me a cowboy
None much to look at
Just a free rolling man
That was a long time ago
No matter how I tried
These years just rolled on 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
I can hold on to
To believe in this living
Is such a hard way to go
Flies in the kitchen
Hearing them there buzzing
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
Flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
But I can hold on to
To believe in this living
Is such a hard way to go
