Tom: G G C G C I am an old woman named after my mother G C D G My old man is another child that's grown old G C G C If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire G C D G This old house would've burnt down a long time ago F C G Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery F C G Make me a poster of an old rodeo F C G Just give me one thing that I can hold on to C D G To believe in this living is just a hard way to go When I was a young girl, well I had me a cowboy He weren'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 Chorus There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear em, they're buzzin' But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today I the hell can a person goes to work in the morning Come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say Chorus
