about

Written by John Prine. Performed by Isaac Tabor.

lyrics

I am an old woman now
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child who's grown old

If dreams were thunder
Lightning desire
This old house 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 something that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young one
I had me a cowboy
He wasn't much to look at
Just a free rambling man

That was a long time
And no matter how I try
The years just flow by
Like a broken down dam

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

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them buzzing
And I ain't done nothing
Since I woke up today

How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
Come home in the evening
Without a damn thing to say

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