Angel from Montgomery

John Denver · Triple Feature [2009]

I am an old woman, named after my mother

Old man is another child that's grown old

If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire

This old house would have 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 onto

To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy

Weren't much to look at just a free ramblin' man

But that was a long time no matter how I try

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 onto

To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear em in there buzzin'

And I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today

And how the hell can a person, go to work in the mornin'

Come home in the evenin' and have nothin' 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 onto

To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go

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 onto

To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
