My old man is another child that's grown old.

If dreams were thunder and lightning was desire

this old house would've burnt down a long time ago. 
  
  

            D              A                E 
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.

Make me a poster of an old rodeo. 
             D              A           E 
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.

wasn't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man. 
E               A                 E             A 
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try,

the years just flow by like a broken-down dam.
