Artist/Band: John Prine
Lyrics for Song: Angel From Montgomery
Lyrics for Album: Souvenirs [2000]



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 it 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 wasn't much to look at

just a free ramblin' man

But that was a long time

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 them there buzzin'

And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today

But how the hell can a person

go on to work in the morning

to 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
