The Incubators - Angel from Montgomery

I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man he's another
Child who's grown old
If dreams were like thunder
Lightning desire
This old house would've burned 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
'Cuz to believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl
Well, I loved me a cowboy
Wasn't much to look at
He was a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time
No matter how I tried
The years seem to blow 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 Lord
That I can hold on to
'Cuz to believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

Well there's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them buzzin'
But I ain't done nothing Lord
Since I woke up today
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
Then come home in the evening
But 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
That I can hold on to
'Cuz to believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

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