I am an old woman named after my mother
|
My old man is another child that's grown old
|
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
|
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry
|
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 well, I had me a cowboy
|
He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
|
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
|
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
|
And I ain't done 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.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
