Angel from Montgomery [Live] by Bonnie Raitt

I am an old woman named after my mother
An old man is another child who's grown old
Dreams were thunder lightning was desire
This old house it would've burned down a long time ago

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

When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy
It wasn't much to look at it was a free ramblin' man
But there was a long time no matter how I tried
The years they just rolled by like a broken down dance

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

There's flies in the kitchen I can hear them there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
How the hell can a person go on to work in the morning
Come home in the evening and have nothing to say

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