susan tedeschi - angel from montgomery lyrics
(written by john prine)
i am an old woman
named after my mother
my old man is another
child that’s grown old
if dreams were thunder
and lightnin’ was desire
this old house would have burnt 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, lord, that i can hold onto
to believe in this living 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
oh, but that was such a long time
and no matter how i try
those years they 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, i can hold onto
to believe in this living is just a hard way to go
there’s flies in the kitchen
i can hear all their buzzin’
but i ain’t done nothin
since i woke up today
how the h-ll can a person
go to work in the morning
and come home in the evening
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 i can hold onto
to believe in this living is just a hard way to go
