Angels From Montgomery Lyrics - Singles - John Denver

Angel From Montgomery 

John Prine 

I am an old woman 

Named after my mother, 

My old man is another 

Child that's grown old 

If dreams were lightning 

And thunder were desire 

This old house would have burnt down 

A long time ago

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

He weren't much to look at, 

Just a free ramblin' man. 

But 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 one thing that I can hold on to, 

To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go 

Photos 

There's flies in the kitchen 

I can hear 'em in there buzzin' 

And I ain't done nothin' 

Since I woke up today. 

How the hell can a person 

Go to work in the mornin' 

Come home in the evenin' 

And have nothin' 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 

(Repeat Chorus)
