angels from montgomery-john denver
i am an old woman
named after my mother,
my old man is another
child thats grown old
if dreams were lightning
and thunder were desire
this old house would have burnt 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
he werent 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
theres flies in the kitchen
i can hear em in there buzzin
and i aint 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?
