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

Child who's grown old

If dreams were thunder

And lightning was desire
This old house would've burned down
A long time ago


(Chorus)
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

When I had me a cowboy
He wasn't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man

But that was a long time
And no matter how i tried
The years just flew by

Like a broken down dam

(Repeat Chorus)


There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear all them buzzin'

And I ain't done nothing
Since I woke up today
But how can a person

Go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening
And have nothing to say


(Repeat Chorus)


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