Lyrics

[00:00.000]
[00:18.000] I am an old woman
[00:22.000] Named after my mother
[00:26.000] My old man is another
[00:29.100] Child that's grown old
[00:32.300] If dreams were thunder
[00:35.989] And lightning was desire
[00:39.789] This old house would've burnt down a long time ago
[00:47.185] Make me an angel
[00:50.734] That flies from Montgomery
[00:54.439] Make me a poster of an old rodeo
[01:00.704] Just give me one thing
[01:05.193] That I can hold on to
[01:09.208] To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
[01:16.990]
[01:21.238] When I was a young girl
[01:25.418] I had me a cowboy
[01:28.921] He wouldn't much to look at
[01:32.344] He's a free ramblin' man
[01:35.712] But that was a long time
[01:40.037] No matter how I try
[01:43.692] The years just flow by
[01:47.188] Like a broken-down dam
[01:50.547]
[01:50.990] Make me an angel
[01:54.475] That flies from Montgomery
[01:58.198] Make me a poster of an old rodeo
[02:04.596] Just give me one thing
[02:08.602] That I can hold on to
[02:12.687] To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
[02:21.396]
[02:33.606] There's flies in the kitchen
[02:37.199] I can hear all there buzzin'
[02:40.760] And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
[02:47.448] How the hell can a person
[02:52.487] Go to work in the morning
[02:55.388] Come home in the evening
[02:58.937] And have nothing to say
[03:01.736]
[03:02.880] Make me an angel
[03:06.429] That flies from Montgomery
[03:10.074] Make me a poster of an old rodeo
[03:17.000] Just give me one thing
[03:20.845] That I can hold on to
[03:24.612] To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
[03:31.500]
[03:33.140] To believe in this living Is just a hard way to go
[03:50.524]
