C  G  Am  E  F  C  G

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

C                                  G
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
           Am                          E
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
         F                      C
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
        G                          C
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                     E
He weren't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man
         F                      C
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
         G                      C
The years just flow by like a broken down dam

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