John Prine – Angel From Montgomery Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 16 Second

I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child whos grown old

If dreams were lightning
And thunder were desire
This old house wouldve 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
Well, I had me a cowboy
He werent much to look at
Just a free ramblin man

But that was a long time
And no matter how I tried
The years just flowed 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

Theres flies in the kitchen
I can hear em there buzzin
And I aint done nothing
Since I woke up today

How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
Then 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

To believe in this livin
Is just a hard way to go
