I am an old woman named after my mother My old man is another child that's grown old If dreams were thunder and lightning was desire This old house would've 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 Wasn't much to look at, just a free ramblin' 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
