Jesse Welles Lyrics
I am an old woman named after my mother
Old man is another child that's-a gone wrong
Dreams were lightning, and thunder were 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-a me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this-a living is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl, well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time, no matter how I try
The more years just-a roll by like a broken-down dam
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give-a 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-a buzzing
And I ain't done-a nothing since I woke up today
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And 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-a me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
