Angel from Montgomery(feat. Bonnie Raitt) (Live) - John Prine (約翰·普林)/Bonnie Raitt

I am an old woman

Named after my mother

My old man is another

Child who's grown old

If dreams were thunder

Lightning was desire

This old house would've burned 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 livin'

Is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl

Well I had me a cowboy

He wasn't much to look at

Just a free ramblin' man

But that was a long time

And no matter how I tried

The years just flowed by

Like a broken down dam

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

There's flies in the kitchen

I can hear 'em there buzzin'

And I ain't done nothing

Since I woke up today

But how the hell can a person

Go to work in the morning

Then come home in the evening

And have nothing to say

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

To believe in this livin'

Is just a hard way to go
