I am an old woman named after my mother
(My) old man is another child (that's) grown old. 
If dreams were thunder and lightning was 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 one thing that I can hold on to. 
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go. 
(When) I was a young girl I had me a cowboy. 
Wasn'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 living is just a hard way to go. 
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'. 
(but) I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today. 
I am kind of person goes to work in the morning 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.
