D G D G
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 burnt down a long time ago
Chorus:
D C G D
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery

Make me a poster of an old rodeo

To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy

D G A D
The years just flow by like a broken-down dam

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear them a-buzzin'

How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
D G A D
Come home in the evenin', they got nothin' to say

Make me a poster of an old rodeo
