Angel From Montgomery - (2:26) - 7,747 playsLyricsI am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were lightnin' and thunder were desire
This old house would've burned down a long time ago
Make me an Angel that flies from Montgomery

Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn
