Angel From Montgomery Lyrics - Live - John Prine

I am an old woman 

Named after my mother 

My old man is another 

Child who's grown old 

If dreams were lightning 

Thunder 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 

Well, I had me a cowboy 

He wasn'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 flowed 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 

Photos 

There's flies in the kitchen 

I can hear 'em there buzzin' 

And I ain't done nothing 

Since I woke up today 

But how the hell can a person 

Go to work in the morning 

Then 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
