Bonnie Raitt – Angel from Montgomery

I am an old woman
Named after my mother Make me an angel
My old man is another That flies from Montgomery
Child who's grown old Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
If dreams were thunder Just give me one thing
And lightning was desire That I can hold on to
This old house would've burned down To believe in this livin'
A long time ago Is just a hard way to go

Make me an angel There's flies in the kitchen

That flies from Montgomery I can hear all their buzzin'
Make me a poster And I ain't done nothing since I woke up
Of an old rodeo today
Just give me one thing How the hell can a person
That I can hold on to Go to work in the morning
To believe in this livin' Come home in the evening
Is just a hard way to go And have nothing to say

When I was a young girl Make me an angel

I had me a cowboy That flies from Montgomery
He weren't much to look at Make me a poster
Just a free ramblin' man Of an old rodeo
That was a long time Just give me one thing
And no matter how I tried That I can hold on to
The years just flow by To believe in this livin'
Like a broken down dam Is just a hard way to go
