{verse}
[1]I am an old [4]woman [1]named after my [4]mother
[1]My old man is [4]another [5]child that's grown [1]old
[1]If dreams were [4]lightning [1]thunder were [4]desire
[1]This old house would have [4]burnt down a [5]long time a[1]go

{chorus}
[1]Make me an [7]angel that [4]flies from Mont[1]gomery
[1]Make me a [7]poster of an [4]old rode[1]o
[1]Just give me [7]one thing that [4]I can hold [1]on to
[1]To believe in this [7]living is just a [4]hard way to [1]go

{verse}
When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.

{chorus}

{verse}
There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em a-buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.

{chorus}
