ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY
[Verse 1]
I am an old wo
man named afte
r my mother.
My old man is
another child
that's grown o
ld.
If dreams were
lightning and
thunder were
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 2]
When I was a y
oung girl I ha
d me a cowboy,
He wa'rn't muc
h to look at,
just a free ra
mblin' man.
But that was a
long time, an
d no matter ho
w 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.
[Verse 3]
There's flies
in the kitchen
, I can hear a
ll their buzzi
n'
but I ain't do
ne nothin' sin
ce I woke up t
oday.
But how the he
ll can a perso
n go to work i
n the morning
come home in t
he evenin' and
have nothin'
to say?
[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.
