I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child that's grown old

If dreams were lightning
Thunder 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 on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man

But that was a long time
And no matter how I tried
Those years just flow by
Like a broken down dam

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 on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing 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

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 on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
… (oooh, yea, yea)

She wore diamonds (She wore diamonds)
She wore diamonds (She wore diamonds)
Give me one thing heart’s desire, diamonds on the inside
(Make me an angel, hey)

SCATS
Oh, Oh, On the inside
(She wore, She wore, She wore diamonds on the inside)
(Just give me one thing)
Make me an angel on the inside (Just give me one thing)
(She wore, she wore) (She wore diamonds)
(Just give me one thing hold on to)
Make me an angel (Just give me one thing) (diamonds)

One thing I can hold on to, diamonds on the inside
(she wore diamonds on the inside) (Just give me one thing)
Thunder, lighting, dreams, desire, diamonds on the inside
(Diamonds on the inside, diamonds) (Just one thing)
Shine from the inside and fly (make me an angel)
Shine diamonds and fly (diamonds)
To believe in this a living is such a hard way to go
