Punk Rock Angel from Montgomery John Prine by Evan Greer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Am an old woman named after my mother
This old house is another child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder, lightnin' was desire
This old house would have burned down a long time ago

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

[Verse 2]
I was a young girl, I had me a cowboy
Wasn't much to look at, he was a free ramblin' man
Oh, that was a long time, no matter how I try
Days that flow by like a broken-down dam

[Chorus]
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Send me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing I can hold on to
To believe in this livin' is a hard way to go
[Verse 3]
Flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em, they're buzzin'
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?

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