Angel from Montgomery
ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY
E A E A
I am an old (man) named after my (father).
E A B E
My old man is another child that's grown old.
E A E A
If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire
E A B E
this old house would've burnt down a long time ago.
CHORUS:
E D A E
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
E D A E
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
E D A E
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
E D A E
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
E A E A E
E A E A
When I was a young (boy) I had me a (cowgirl),
E A B E
He wa'rn't much to look at, just a free ramblin' (woman).
E A E A
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try,
E A B E
the years just flow by like a broken-down dam.
CHORUS
E A E A E
E A E A
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'
E A B E
but I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.
E A E A
But how the hell can a person go to work in the morning
E A B E
come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say?
CHORUS
E D A E
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
