I am an old woman named after my mother

My old man is another child that's grown old
G              C           G             C
If dreams were thunder and lightning was desire
G                       C            D         G	
This old house would've burnt down a long time ago

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

When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy

Werent much to look at, just a free ramblin' man
G                 C           G	            C
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
G              C              D           G
The years just flow by like a broken-down dam

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
G         F            C     G

Just give me one thing that I can hold on to

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear em buzzin'
G                C               D        G	
But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today

How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
G                C                D	     G
Come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say
