Angel From Montgomery

Words & Music by: John Prine
Vocals by: John Prine & Bonnie Raitt

1
I am an old woman
named after my mother

My old man is another
child that's grown old

If dreams were lightning
thunder was desire

This old house would have burnt down
a long time ago

.

Chorus

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 living
is just a hard way to go

.

2
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

.

repeat Chorus

.

3
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear 'em there 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 ?

.

repeat Chorus
