I am an old woman

Named after my mother

My old man is another

Child who's grown old

If dreams were thunder

And lightning was desire

This old house 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

He wasn't much to look at

Just a free ramblin' man

But that was a long time

And no matter how I tried

The years they just rolled 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

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

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

one of the best songs of all times, if you ask me. First heard on Bonnie's album Streetlights from 1973. What a perfect album
