Lyrics for Song: Angel From Montgomery [Live/Road Tested]
Lyrics for Album: Road Tested [1995]
Verse 1
I am an old woman
named after my mother
My old man is another
child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder
and lightning was desire
this old house would've burned down
a long time ago
Chorus:
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
Verse 2
When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man
That was a long time
and no matter how I tried
the years just flow by
like a broken down dam
(chorus)
Verse 3
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
(chorus)
