Lyrics Angel From Montgomery (live) - Bonnie Raitt , John Prine

I am an old woman
Named after my mother
An old man is another
Child who′s grown old
If dreams were thunder
Lightning was desire
This old house it would've burned 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
It wasn't much to look at
It was a free ramblin' man
There was a long time
No matter how I tried
The years they just floated back
Like a broken down dance
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
I can hold on to
Believe in this livin′
Is just a hard way to go
There′s flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And I ain′t done nothing since I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
Go on to work in the mornin'
To come home in the evenin′
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
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
To believe in this livin′
Is just a hard way to go
