E A E A
I am an old woman named after my mother.
E A D E
My old man is another child that's grown old.
A E A E
If dreams were thunder and lightning was desire
A D E
this old house would've burnt down a long time ago.
[Chorus]
D A E
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
D A E
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
D A E
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
D A E A E A
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
[Verse 2]
E A E A E
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy,
A E A
wasn't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man.
E A E A
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try,
E A D E
the years just flow by like a broken-down dam.
[Chorus]
D A E
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
D A E
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
D A E
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
D A E A E A
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
[Verse 3]
E A E A
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'
E A E A
but I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.
E A E A
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
E A D E
And come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say.
[Chorus]
D A E
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
D A E
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
D A E
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
D A E A E A
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
D A E
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
