Artist: Bonnie Raitt Album: Road Tested (1995) Title: Angel From Montgomery
Lyrics Angel From MontgomeryI 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 it would've burned 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 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
he was a free ramblin' man
That was a long time
and no matter how I tried
the years they just rolled by
like a broken down [dam?]dance
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus] |
