G5           C5     G5              C5 
I am an old woman named after my mother 
G5             C5       D5                  G5 
My old man is another child that's grown old 
G5              C5         G5                  C5 
If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire 
G5                       C5            D5         G5 
This old house would've burnt down a long time ago 


           F5          C5          G5 
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery 
          F5            C5       G5 
Make me a poster of an old rodeo 
             F5              C5             G5 
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to 
                   C5                D5           G5 
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go  
 
 
When I was a young girl, well 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 , they're buzzin' 
But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today 
I the hell can a person goes to work in the morning 
Come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say 
 
 
Chorus
