I am an old woman
|
Named after my mother
|
My old man is another
|
Child who's grown old
|
|
If dreams were lightning
|
And thunder were desire
|
This old house would've burned 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 livin'
|
Is just a hard way to go
|
|
When I was a young girl
|
Well, I had me a cowboy
|
He weren't much to look at
|
Just a free ramblin' man
|
|
But that was a long time
|
And no matter how I tried
|
The years just flowed by
|
Like a broken down dam
|
|
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
|
|
There's flies in the kitchen
|
I can hear 'em there buzzin'
|
And I ain't done nothing
|
Since I woke up today
|
|
How the hell can a person
|
Go to work in the morning
|
Then come home in the evening
|
And have nothing to say?
|
|
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
|
|
To believe in this livin'
|
Is just a hard way to go
|
