Angel From Montgomery Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 I am an old woman

2 Named after my mother

3 My old man is another

4 Child who's grown old

5 If dreams were thunder

6 And lightning was desire

7 This old house would've burned down

8 A long time ago

9 Make me an angel

10 That flies from Montgomery

11 Make me a poster

12 Of an old rodeo

13 Just give me one thing

14 That I can hold on to

15 To believe in this livin'

16 Is just a hard way to go

17 When I was a young girl

18 I had me a cowboy

19 He weren't much to look at

20 Just a free ramblin' man

21 That was a long time

22 And no matter how I tried

23 The years just flow by

24 Like a broken down dam

25 Make me an angel

26 That flies from Montgomery

27 Make me a poster

28 Of an old rodeo

29 Just give me one thing

30 That I can hold on to

31 To believe in this livin'

32 Is just a hard way to go

33 There's flies in the kitchen

34 I can hear all their buzzin'

35 And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today

36 How the hell can a person

37 Go to work in the morning

38 Come home in the evening

39 And have nothing to say

40 Make me an angel

41 That flies from Montgomery

42 Make me a poster

43 Of an old rodeo

44 Just give me one thing

45 That I can hold on to

46 To believe in this livin'

47 Is just a hard way to go
