I am an old woman named after my mother
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

I was a young girl I had me a cowboy
Wasn´t much to look at, just a free ramblin´ man
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´
I ain´t done nothin´ since I woke up today
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And 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
