This old house would've burnt down a long time ago
Chorus

G F C G

Verse 2
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy
Wasn't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
These dreams go back like a broken-down dam
Repeat Chorus:
Solo: Like the Verses, I strum it a little choppy to keep it interesting
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
Repeat Chorus:
G F C G
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
G F C G
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
G F C G
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
