    Angel From Montgomery was written by John Prine, an American country/folk singer-songwriter. Mr Prine has been active as a recording artist and live performer since the early 1970s. He and friend Steve Goodman had each been active in the Chicago folk scene before being "discovered" by Kris Kristofferson who has remarked that Prine wrote songs so good that "we'll have to break his thumbs"

lyrics

I am an old woman named after my mother.
My old man is another child that's grown old.
If dreams were thunder and lightning was desire
this old house would've 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 living is just a hard way to go.
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy,
wa'n'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.
quiet break w bass solo ?
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'
but I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.
I am kind of person goes to work in the morning
come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
