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

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

E                    A  
When I was a young girl, well, I had me a cowboy  
E                      A  
He weren't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man  
E                       A  
But that was a long time
