Lyrics
I am an old woman, Named after my mother
My old man is another, Child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder, And 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, That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
Is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl, I had me a cowboy
He wasn't much to look at, Just a free ramblin' man
That was a long time, And no matter how I tried
Those years just flown 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 on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
Is just a hard way to go

And there's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'
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

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
Is just a hard way to go
