Story Behind The Song

John Prine cover song

Lyrics

I am an old woman
Named after my mother
my old man is another
Child grown old

if dreams were thunder
and lightening 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 onto
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 rambling man
but that was a long time
and no matter how hard I try
The years they just flow by
like a broken down damn

repeat chorus

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them buzzin'
And I ain't done nothin'
Since I woke up today
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
Come home in the evening
And have nothing to say

repeat chorus
