Buddy Miller, The Lone Bellow, Brandi Carlile - Angel from Montgomery lyrics

I am an old woman named after my mother
An old man is another child who's grown old

If dreams were thunder lightning was desire
This old house it 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 livin'
Is just a hard way to go

When i was a young girl i had me a cowboy
It wasn't much to look at
It was a free ramblin' man
There was a long time no matter how i tried
The years they just rolled by
Like a broken down dance

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

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And i ain't done nothing since
I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
Go on to work in the morning
To come home in the evening
And have nothing 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

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