Angel From Montgomery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child that’s grown old<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

If dreams were thunder
And lightnin’ was desire
This old house would’ve burnt down
At a long time ago<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin’
Is just a hard way to go<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

When I was a young girl
Well, I had me a cowboy
He weren’t much to look at
Just a free ramblin’ man<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that was a long time
And no matter how I tried
Those years just flow by
Like a broken down dam<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin’
Is just a hard way to go<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

There’s flies in the kitchen
I can hear ’em they’re buzzin’
And I ain’t done nothin’ since I woke up today<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

How the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin’
And come home in the evenin’
And have nothin’ to say<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo<\/em>
