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
