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, thunder was desire
        G                             C
This old house would have burned 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

C                G
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em
