My old man is another child that's grown old

This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
Chorus
G F C G
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry
F D7 G C
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
F C G
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
C D7 G C G C G
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 free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.
Repeat Chorus:
There's flies in the kitchen]I can hear 'em there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to Say.
Repeat Chorus:
Ending:
[G] [C] [G] [C] ( Repeat and fade)
