Angel From Montgomery lyrics

(written by john prine)



I am an old woman

Named after my mother

My old man is another

Child thats grown old



If dreams were thunder

And lightnin was desire

This old house woulda burned down

A long time ago



Make me an angel, to fly from montgomery

Make me a poster, of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing, I can hold onto

To believe in this living is just a, hard way to go



When I was a young girl

I had me a cowboy

He wasnt much to look at

Just a free ramblin man



Aw, but that was a long time

And no matter how I try

Those years they just flow by

Like a broken-down dam



Make me an angel, to fly from montgomery

Make me a poster, of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing, I can hold onto

To believe in this living is just a, hard way to go



Theres flies in the kitchen

I can hear em a-buzzin

But I aint done nothin

Since I woke up today



How the hell can a person

Go to work in the mornin

And come home in the evenin

And have nothin to say?



Make me an angel, to fly from montgomery

Make me a poster, of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing, I can hold onto

To believe in this living is just a, hard way to go
