angels from montgomery

Singer: denver, john

i am an old woman

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 living 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 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 in 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

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. 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.
