Named after my mother,
My old man is another
Child that`s grown old
If dreams were lightning
And thunder were 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 livin` is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
He weren`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 livin` is just a hard way to go
There`s flies in the kitchen
I can hear `em in there 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 that I can hold on to,
To believe in this livin` is just a hard way to go
(Repeat Chorus)
