lirik lagu john prine - angel from montgomery (live at the other end)

[intro]
this is a song about a 47 year old housewife from montgomery, alabama, uh
her husband hasn’t been paying a whole lot of attention to her lately
actually she just, uh, started noticing it lately
they’ve been married about 23 years
she was doing the breakfast dishes one tuesday morning
and, uh, i know this ’cause i’m a peeping tom
and, uh, she, uh
she never did anything else before she finished the breakfast dishes
she always finished the breakfast dishes beforе she even rеmembered starting the rest of the day
and this particular tuesday morning she just stopped about halfway through and
just walked out of the kitchen with suds still on her hands, just walking with suds like this
she walked in and sat down on the sofa
starting watching, uh, the dust particles come, uh
flying through the picture window and land on the coffee table like an aircraft carrier
so she pulled her martin out
she started screaming to the melody of roy acuff’s “precious jewel”

[verse 1]
i am an old woman named after my mother
my old man’s another child that’s grown old
if my dreams were lightning, and thunder were desire
this 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 living is a hard way to go
[verse 2]
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, they just flow by like a broken~down dam

[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 living is a hard way to go

[verse 3]
there’s flies in the kitchen, i can hear ’em there buzzing
i ain’t done nothing since i woke up today
how the h~ll can a person go to work in the morning
and come home in the evening with nothing to say?

[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 living is a hard way to go
