E A E A I am an old woman named after my mother. E A D E My old man is another child that's grown old. A E A If dreams were thunder and lightning was desire E A D E this old house would've burnt down a long time ago.
CHORUS
D A E Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery. D A E Make me a poster of an old rodeo. D A E Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
D A E A E A To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy,
wa'n't much to look at, just a free ramblin' 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)
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'
but I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.
I am kind of person goes to work in the morning
come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say.
(repeat chorus) D A E To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
