Lyrics for Song: Angel From Montgomery [Live] [7'' Version]
Lyrics for Album: The Bonnie Raitt Collection [1990]
I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder, 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 livin' is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time, and no matter how I tried
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 livin' is just a hard way to go
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
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
To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
