Angel From Montgomery

Angel From Montgomery
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 was desire
this old house would've 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,
wa'n't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man
but that was a long time, and no matter how i try,
the years just flow 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 living is just a hard way to go
