ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY

JOHN PRINE

I am an old woman named after my Mother. My old man is another
child that's grown old. If dreams were thunder, lightning was
desire, this old house would have burned down a long time ago.

Chorus
Make me an angel who flies from Montgomery.
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
Just give me one thing that I can believe in.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.

When I was a young girl 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 a broken down dam.

Chorus
Make me an angel who flies from Montgomery.
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
Just give me one thing that I can believe in.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.

There's flies in the kitchen I can hear em a buzzin', and I ain't
done nothin' since I woke up today. How the hell can a person
go to work in the morning, come home in the evening, and have nothing to say.

Chorus
Make me an angel who flies from Montgomery.
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
Just give me one thing that I can believe in.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
