| I am an old woman named after my mother
|
| My old man is another child that’s grown old
|
| If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
|
| This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
|
| Chorus:
|
| Make me an angel that flies from montgom’ry
|
| 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 well, I had me a cowboy
|
| He weren’t much to look at, just free rambling man
|
| But that was a long time and no matter how I try
|
| The years just flow by like a broken down dam.
|
| Repeat chorus:
|
| There’s flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
|
| And I ain’t done nothing since I woke up today.
|
| How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
|
| And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.
|
| Repeat chorus: |
