─♡─

Verse 1
G 
I am an old  
C 
woman 
 
 
G 
named after my  
C 
mother.
G 
My old man is  
C 
another 
 
 
D 
child that’s grown  
G 
old.
 
If dreams were  
C 
lightning and  
G 
thunder were  
C 
desire
G 
this old house would’ve  
C 
burnt down a  
D 
long time  
G 
ago.
Chorus
G 
Make me an  
F 
angel that  
C 
flies from  
G 
Montgomery.
 
Make me a  
F 
poster of an  
C 
old 
 
 
G 
rodeo.
 
Just give me  
F 
one thing that  
C 
I can hold  
G 
on 
 
to.
 
To believe in this  
F 
living is just a  
C 
hard way to  
G 
go.

Verse 2
G 
When I was a  
C 
young 
 
 
G 
girl I had me a  
C 
cowboy,
G 
He wa’rn’t much to  
C 
look at, just a  
D 
free ramblin’  
G 
man.
 
But that was  
C 
a long  
G 
time, and no matter how  
C 
 
try,
G 
the years just  
C 
flow by like a  
D 
broken-down 
 
 
G 
dam.

G 
There’s flies in the  
C 
G 
kitchen, I can hear all their  
C 
buzzin’
G 
but I ain’t done  
C 
nothin’ since I  
D 
woke up  
G 
today.
 
But how the hell can a  
C 
G 
person go to work in the  
C 
morning
G 
come home in the  
C 
evenin’ and have  
D 
nothin’ to  
G 
say?
