--- Start Of Angel From Montgomery Lyrics ---

I am an old woman ... named after my mother
My old man is another ... child thats grown old
If dreams were thunder ... lightening was desire
This old house would have burnt down ... a long time ago

Make me an angel ... that flies from montgomry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl well ... I had me a cowboy
He werent much to look at ... just free rambling man
But that was a long time ... and no matter how I try
The years just flow by ... like a broken down dam

Make me an angel ... that flies from montgomry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

Theres flies in the kitchen ... I can hear em there buzzing
And I aint done nothing since I woke up today
How the hell can a person ... go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening ... and have nothing to say

Make me an angel ... that flies from montgomry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

Make me an angel ... that flies from montgomry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
