Angel From Montgomery Songtext
von Bonnie Raitt

I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child that′s grown old

If dreams were thunder
And lightnin' was desire
This old house would′ve burnt down
At 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
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 livin′
Is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear ′em they're buzzin′
And I ain't done nothin′ since I woke up today

How the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin'
And 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

To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
