Lyrics

I’m an old woman, named after my mother
My old man is another, child who’s grown old
If dreams were thunder, lightnin’ was desire
This old house woulda 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 livin’, is just a hard way to go

When I was young girl, well I had me a cowboy
He weren’t much to look at, just a free ramblin’ man
Now it’s been 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 livin’, is just a hard way to go

Now there’s flies in the kitchen, I can hear ‘em, they’re buzzin’
And I ain’t done nothin’, since I woke up today
How the hell can a person, go to work in the mornin’
Come home in the evenin’, and have nothin’ to say

Make me an angel, that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster, of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing, I can hold on to
To believe in this livin’, is just a hard way to go
To believe in this livin’, woooo hoooo
To believe in this livin’, is just a hard way to go hard way to go
To believe in this livin’, is just a, hard hard way to, go
