Angel From Montgomery Lyrics

I am an old woman named after my mother
my old man is another child that's grown old
if dreams were thunder and lightning desire
this old house would have burnt down a long time ago
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 living is just a hard way to go
when I was a young girl I had me a cowboy
he weren't much to look at just a free rambling man
but there was a long time that no matter how I tried
the years just flow by like a broken down dam
there's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
and I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
how the hell can a person go to work in the morning
come home in the evening and have nothing to say?
