Intro:
[] [] [] [] [] []
                              
I am an old woman named after my mother
                                       
My old man is another child that's grown old
                                     
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
                                                   
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

Chorus
                                                         
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry             
                                     
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 well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.
Repeat Chorus:

There's flies in the kitchen]I can hear 'em there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to Say. 
Repeat Chorus:

Ending:
[] [] [] [] ( Repeat and fade)
