LYRICS
作词 : John Prine
作曲 : John Prine
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child that's grown old
If dreams were lightning
Thunder were desire
This old house would have burnt down
A long time ago
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgom'ry
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
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
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgom'ry
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 'em there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothin'
Since I woke up today
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin'
And come home in the evenin'
And have nothin' to say
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgom'ry
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 the hard way to go
