Текст песни Angel from Montgomery (feat. Bonnie Raitt) - Live - Bonnie Raitt , John Prine

Ah request time! Haha
Just shout 'em out
Angel from Montgomery and Good Times
Okay, I'ma do 'em both simultaneously
In the same key

This for prosperity huh
They'll say boy that kid sure took a long time
To tune his guitar

This is about a woman thinking about her old man
While he's at work
'Cause she ain't got time to think about him
When he's home

I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child who's grown old
If dreams were lightning
And thunder were desire
This old house 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
Well, 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 tried
The years just flowed 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 there buzzin'
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?

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

Thank you
What? Oh sure!
