Angels From Montgomery — John Denver

Named after my mother, My old man is another Child that's grown old If dreams were lightning And thunder were desire This old house would have burnt down A long time ago

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery, Make me a poster of an old rodeo Just give me one thing that I can hold on to, To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy He weren'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.

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery, Make me a poster of an old rodeo Just give me one thing that I can hold on to, To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em in there buzzin' And I ain't done nothin' Since I woke up today. How the hell can a person Go to work in the mornin' Come home in the evenin' And have nothin' to say?

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery, Make me a poster of an old rodeo Just give me one thing that I can hold on to, To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
