Angel From Montgomery Lyrics - Streetlights - Bonnie Raitt

Verse 1 

I am an old woman 

named after my mother 

My old man is another 

child who's grown old 

If dreams were thunder 

and lightning was desire 

this old house would've burned down 

a long time ago

Chorus: 

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 

Verse 2 

When I was a young girl 

I had me a cowboy 

He weren't much to look at 

Just a free ramblin' man 

That was a long time 

and no matter how I tried 

the years just flow by 

like a broken down dam 

Photos 

(chorus) 

Verse 3 

There's flies in the kitchen 

I can hear all their buzzin' 

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 

and have nothing to say 

(chorus)
