Angel from Montgomery - LyricsPlanet.com

Verse 1
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 it would've burned down
a long time ago

chorus: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

Verse 2When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
he wasn't much to look at
he was a free ramblin' man
That was a long time
and no matter how I tried
the years they just rolled by
like a broken down [dam?]dance

chorus: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

Verse 3There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
go on to work in the morning
come home in the evening
and have nothing to say

chorusMake 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
