I am an old woman named after my mother
Am                     C
My old man is another child that's grown old
G                F                C
If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire
G                      C      G
This old house would have burned down a long time ago

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

C                     G
When I was a young girl, well, I had me a cowboy
Am                   C
He weren't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man
G                 F                 C
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
G                     C        G
The years just flow by like a broken down dam

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

C                    G
There’s flies in the kitchen, I can hear them there buzzing
Am                        C
And I ain’t done nothing since I woke up today
G                  F                C
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
G                       C      G
Come home in the evening and have nothing to say?

C                     G
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Am                       C
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
G                    F                   C
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
G                     C       G
