Punk Rock Angel From Montgomery (John Prine)

Am an old woman named after my mother
This old house is another child that’s grown old
If dreams were thunder, lightning was desire
This old house would have burned down a long time ago
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Send me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing I can hold on to
To believe in this livin' is a hard way to go
I was a young girl, I had me a cowboy
Wasn’t much to look at, he was a free rambling man
Oh, that was a long time, no matter how I try
Days that flow by like a broken-down dam
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Send me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing I can hold on to
To believe in this livin' is a hard way to go
Flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em, they’re buzzing
I ain’t done nothin' since I woke up today
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
Send me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing I can hold on to
To believe in this livin' is a hard way to go
