Angel From Montgomery Songtext
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man′s another child that's grown old, yeah
If love was like lightnin′
And thunder desire
This whole house would have burnt down
A long time ago, yeah
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, yeah
When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at
Just a free ramblin′ man
But that was a long time
No matter how I tried
These dreams do go by
Like a broken down dam
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo, yeah
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin′
Is just a hard way to go, so
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear ′em buzzin'
I ain′t done nothin' since I woke up today, yeah
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin′
Come home in the evenin'
Have nothin' to say
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo, yeah
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin′
Is just a hard way to go
To believe in this livin′
Is just a hard way to go
Named after my mother
My old man′s another child that's grown old, yeah
If love was like lightnin′
And thunder desire
This whole house would have burnt down
A long time ago, yeah
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, yeah
When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at
Just a free ramblin′ man
But that was a long time
No matter how I tried
These dreams do go by
Like a broken down dam
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo, yeah
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin′
Is just a hard way to go, so
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear ′em buzzin'
I ain′t done nothin' since I woke up today, yeah
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin′
Come home in the evenin'
Have nothin' to say
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo, yeah
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin′
Is just a hard way to go
To believe in this livin′
Is just a hard way to go
