Verse 1

I am an old woman, named after my mother,
My old man is another child that's grown old.
If dreams were thunder and lightning was desire,
This old house would've burnt down a long time ago.

Chorus

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 living is just a hard way to go. Well...

Verse 2

When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy, 
He wa'n't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man.
But that was a long time, ooh no matter how I try,
These dreams seem to go by like a broken-down dam.

Chorus

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 living is just a hard way to go.

Verse 3

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin' 
But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.
I'm the kind of person goes to work in the morning 
Come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say. Well...

Chorus

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
Make me a poster of an old rodeo. Ahhh...
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
G F C N.C.
To believe in this living is just a hard way.... to go.
