[Verse]
            
I am an old wo

             
man   named af

       
ter my mother
             
My old man is 

            
another   chil

              
d that's grown

 
 old
             
If dreams were

            
 thunder   and

              
 lightning was

    
 desire
             
This old house

             
 would've burn

             
t down a long 

        
time ago


[Chorus]
            
Make me an ang

             
el that flies 

         
from Montgomer

y
            
Make me a post

             
er of an old r

   
odeo
            
Just give me o

              
ne thing that 

           
I can hold on 

to
             
To believe in 

             
this living is

             
 just a hard w

     
ay to go


[Verse]
            
When I was a y

              
oung girl     

             
    I had me a

      
 cowboy
             
Wasn't much to

             
 look at,     

             
    just a fre

        
e ramblin' man
            
But that was a

              
 long time,   

             
    and no mat

      
ter how I try
             
The years just

             
 flow by like 

             
      a broken

        
-down dam


[Chorus]
            
Make me an ang

             
el that flies 

         
from Montgomer

y
            
Make me a post

             
er of an old r

   
odeo
            
Just give me o

              
ne thing that 

           
I can hold on 

to
             
To believe in 

             
this living is

             
 just a hard w

     
ay to go
