Angel From Montgomery [Live] [7'' Version] Lyrics by Bonnie Raitt
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder, lightning was desire
This old house would've burned 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 tried
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 all their buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing 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

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
To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
I am an old woman named after my mother   My old man is another child who's grown old   If dreams were thunder, lightning was desire   This old house would've burned 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 tried   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 all their buzzin'   And I ain't done nothing 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      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   To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
