Angel From Montgomery

(앨범: Something Worth Saying, Pt 2 - 2021)

I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder lightning was desire
This old house would have burnt down, oh, 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 living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl, oh, I had me a cowboy
He wasn't much to look at, just a free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how hard I try
Those 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 on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em buzzing
I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
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, Lord, I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
To believe in this living hard road to hold
To believe in this living is just a hard, oh, so hard way to go
