Lyrics

[00:09.38] I am an old woman
[00:11.89] Named after my mother,
[00:15.58] My old man is another
[00:18.67] Child that's grown old
[00:22.99] If dreams were lightning
[00:26.31] And thunder were desire
[00:29.75] This old house would have burnt down
[00:32.67] A long time ago
[00:36.86] Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery,
[00:43.96] Make me a poster of an old rodeo
[00:51.04] Just give me one thing that I can hold on to,
[00:57.95] To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
[01:05.34] When I was a young girl
[01:08.74] I had me a cowboy
[01:12.33] He weren't much to look at,
[01:14.74] Just a free ramblin' man.
[01:18.92] But that was a long time
[01:22.15] And no matter how I try,
[01:25.60] The years just flow by
[01:28.22] Like a broken down dam.
[01:32.33] Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery,
[01:39.09] Make me a poster of an old rodeo
[01:45.86] Just give me one thing that I can hold on to,
[01:52.28] To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
[02:25.23] There's flies in the kitchen
[02:28.93] I can hear 'em in there buzzin'
[02:31.99] And I ain't done nothin'
[02:36.04] Since I woke up today.
[02:38.58] How the hell can a person
[02:41.99] Go to work in the mornin'
[02:45.40] Come home in the evenin'
[02:48.36] And have nothin' to say?
[02:52.18] Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery,
[02:58.77] Make me a poster of an old rodeo
[03:05.20] Just give me one thing that I can hold on to,
[03:11.62] To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
[03:44.50] Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery,
[03:51.50] Make me a poster of an old rodeo
[03:57.73] Just give me one thing that I can hold on to,
[04:04.01] To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
