Capo 2


G           C     G              C
I am an old woman named after my mother
G             C       D                  G
My old man is another child that's grown old
G              C         G                  C
If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire
G                       C            D         G
This old house would've burnt down a long time ago


Chorus:
           F          C          G
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
          F            C       G
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
             F              C             G
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
                   C                D           G
To believe in this living 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 ramblin' man
But that was a long time, no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam

Chorus

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear em, they’re buzzin’
But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today
I the hell can a person goes to work in the morning
Come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say


Chorus
