John Denver — Angels from Montgomery

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 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
