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

[Chorus:]
 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

[Chorus:]
 
 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?

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
