Harper Ben Angel From Montgomery Lyrics

Angel From Montgomery Lyrics

I am an old woman named after my mother.

 (My) old man is another child (that's) grown old.

 If dreams were thunder and 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 living is just a hard way to go.

 

 (When) I was a young girl I had me a cowboy.

 Wasn'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 living is just a hard way to go.

 

 There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'.

 (But) I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.

 I am a kind of person goes to work in the morning,

 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 living is just a hard way to go.

 To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
