[Intro]
x 2
[Verse]
I am an old man named after my father
My brotha was another child that is grown
If dreams were lightning and thunder desire
This old house would ve burnt down a long time ago
[Chorus]
lord wont you send me an angel fly her straight to Montgomery
Make her the prettiest thing that I never did see
Just give me one damn thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
[Verse 2]
When I was a young boy I had me a lover
She wasnt much of a looker just a free ramblin soul
But that was such a long time ago, and no matter how I try
These dreams go back (well they go back like) a broken-down dam
[Chorus]
lord wont you send me an angel fly her straight to Montgomery
Make her the prettiest thing that I never did see
Just give me one damn thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
There s flies in the kitchen,I can hear them a-buzzin
But 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 evenin , they got nothin to say
[Chorus]
lord wont you send me an angel fly her straight to Montgomery
Make her the prettiest thing that I never did see
Just give me one damn thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
