Named after my mother   My old man is another   Child that's grown old      If dreams were lightning   And thunder were desire   This old house would have 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 livin' 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 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 livin' is just a hard way to go      There's flies in the kitchen   I can hear 'em in there buzzin'   And I ain't done nothin'   Since I woke up today      How the hell can a person   Go to work in the mornin'   Come home in the evenin'   And have nothin' to say?      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      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
