Angel From Montgomery

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am a woman named after my mother My old man is another child that's grown old If dreams were lightning and thunder was desire This whole house would have 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 2] When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy He wasn't much to look at, just a free-ramblin' man But that was a long time, no matter how hard I tried The years just flew by like a broken down dam [Chorus] Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery Won't you 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 3] There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em buzzin' And I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today How the hell can a person go to work in the mornin' And come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say? [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 [Outro] To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
