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.

When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy, 
G              C      D                  G 
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.

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'
