Angel From Montgomery — текст песни (Susan Tedeschi)

(Written by John Prine)

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 old house would`a burned down
A long time ago

Make me an angel, to fly from Montgomery
Make me a poster, of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing, I can hold onto
To believe in this living 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

Aw, but that was a long time
And no matter how I try
Those years they just flow by
Like a broken-down dam

Make me an angel, to fly from Montgomery
Make me a poster, of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing, I can hold onto
To believe in this living is just a, hard way to go

There`s flies in the kitchen
I can hear `em a-buzzin
But 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, to fly from Montgomery
Make me a poster, of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing, I can hold onto
To believe in this living is just a, hard way to go
