歌词
angel from montgomery
John prine
I am an old woman
Named after my mother,
My old man is another
Child that's grown old
If 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 me one thing that i can hold on to,
To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
When i was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at,
Just a free ramblin' man.
But that was a long time
And no matter how i try,
The 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 livin' is just a hard way to go
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear 'em in there buzzin'
And 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,
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that i can hold on to,
To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
(repeat chorus)
