Angel from Montgomery (With Chords) Raitt, Bonnie I am an old woman Named after my mother My old man is another Child that's grown old If dreams were thunder And lightnin' was desire This house woulda burnt down A long time ago Make me an angel that flies from Mont- gomery Make me a poster of an old ro- deo 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 Well I had me a cowboy He weren't much to look at Just a free ramb- lin' man But that was a long time And no matter how I tried Those years just flow by Like a broken down dam Make me an angel that flies from Mont- gomery Make me a poster of an old ro- deo Just give me one thing that I can hold on to To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go [Solo] There's flies in the kitchen I can hear them there buzzin' And I ain't done nothin' Since I woke up today But 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 Mont- gomery Make me a poster of an old ro- deo Just give me one thing that I can hold on to To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go {Slow down} To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
