Angel from Montgomery — текст песни (Bonnie Raitt)

Verse 1
I am an old woman
named after my mother
my old man is another
child who`s grown old

If dreams were thunder
and lightning was desire
this old house it would`ve burned down
a long time ago

chorus: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

Verse 2When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
he wasn`t much to look at
he was a free ramblin` man
That was a long time
and no matter how I tried
the years they just rolled by
like a broken down [dam?]dance

chorus: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

Verse 3There`s flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin`
And I ain`t done nothing since I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
go on to work in the morning
come home in the evening
and have nothing to say

chorusMake 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
