I am an old woman named after my mother. (My) old man is another child (that's) grown old. If dreams were thunder and 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 living is just a hard way to go.
(When) I was a young girl I had me a cowboy. Wasn'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.

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'. (But) I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today. I am a kind of person goes to work in the morning, come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say.
