Lyrics

[Intro]
| G C/G | G C/G | G C/G | G C/G |
| G C/G | G -   |

[Verse 1]
G              C  G                 C
 I am an old woman named after my mother
G               C         D              D7 G C/G
 My old man is another child that's grown  old
G                   C
 If dreams were lightning,
G                 C
 thunder were desire
G                            C            D       D7 G C/G
 This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

[Chorus]
G            Fadd9     C                  G C/G
 Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
G            Fadd9      C        G C/G
 Make me a poster of an old rodeo
G              Fadd9           C               G C/G
 Just give me one   thing that I can hold on to
G                   C                  D           G C/G
 To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
G C/G G

[Verse 2]
G                C      G
 When I was a young girl well,
              C
I had me a cowboy
G                   C
 He weren't much to look at,
     D        D7     G C/G
just free rambling man
G                 C      G                   C
 But that was a long time and no matter how I try
G                   C          D          D7 G  C/G
 The years just flow by like a broken down   dam

[Chorus]
G            Fadd9     C                  G C/G
 Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
G            Fadd9      C        G C/G
 Make me a poster of an old rodeo
G              Fadd9           C               G C/G
 Just give me one   thing that I can hold on to
G                   C                  D           G C/G
 To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
G C/G G

[Verse 3]
G                        C
 There's flies in the kitchen.
G                           C
 I can hear 'em, they're buzzing
G                 C               D       D7  G C/G
 And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
G                      C  G                     C
 How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
G                      C               D       D7   G C/G
 And come home in the evening and have nothing to say

[Chorus]
G            Fadd9     C                  G C/G
 Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
G            Fadd9      C        G C/G
 Make me a poster of an old rodeo
G              Fadd9           C               G C/G
 Just give me one   thing that I can hold on to
G                   C                  D            G C/G
 To believe in this living is just a hard way to go .
