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 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, 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
