Angel from Montgomery - Kristen Kelly

I am an old woman named after my mother

My old man is another child that’s grown old

If dreams were thunder lightning was desire

This old house would have burnt down, oh, 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 living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl, oh, I had me a cowboy

He wasn’t much to look at, just a free rambling man

But that was a long time and no matter how hard I try

Those 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 living is just a hard way to go

There’s flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em buzzing

I ain’t done nothing since I woke up today

How the hell can a person go to work in the morning

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, Lord, I can hold on to

To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

To believe in this living hard road to hold

To believe in this living is just a hard, oh, so hard way to go
