    I am an old woman
    named after my mother
    an old man is another
    child who's grown old
    If dreams were thunder
    lightning was desire
    this old house it would've burned 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
    it wasn't much to look at
    it was a free ramblin' man
    There was a long time
    no matter how I tried
    the years they just rolled by
    like a broken down dance
    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 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
    to 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 livin'
    is just a hard way to go
