(Verse 1)
DGDG
I am an old woman, named after my mother
DGAD
My old man is another, child that’s grown old
DGDG
If dreams were thunder, lightnin' was desire
DGAD
This old house would've burnt down, a long time ago
(Chorus)
DCGD
Make me an angel, that flies from Montgomery
DCGD
Make me a poster, of an old rodeo
DCGD
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to
DCGD
To believe in this livin', is just a hard way to go
(Verse 2)
DGDG
When I was a young girl well I, had me a cowboy
DGAD
He weren’t much to look at, just free ramblin' man
DGDG
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
DGAD
The years just flow by, like a broken down dam.
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
DGDG
There’s flies in the kitchen, I can hear them a-buzzin'
DGAD
And I ain’t done nothing, since I woke up today.
DGDG
How the hell can a person, go to work in the mornin'
DGAD
And come home in the evenin', and have nothing to say.
(Chorus)
DCGD
Make me an angel, that flies from Montgomery
DCGD
Make me a poster, of an old rodeo
DCGD
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to
DCGD
To believe in this livin', is just a, hard way to go (Repeat last line)
