Lyrics:
- I am an old woman named after my mother
- My old man is another child that's grown old
- If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
- This old house would have 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 well, I had me a cowboy
- He weren't much to look at, just free rambling 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
- There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
- And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.
- How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
- And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.
- 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
