Make me an angel...

[zyzyly]

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 living is just a hard way to go.



These lyrics always make me cry--it feels good to cry with the beauty of life.

Every time a mood rings...

Not to spoil the serene mood and all, but why does this angel have to ride on a bird?

I love John Prine. Most people I know have never heard of him.

You ruined my tearful moment!

I love that song. It makes me get all choked up every time I hear it.

That doesn't seem fair somehow. I mean, if the bull bucks off the cowboy, he at least gets the satisfaction of seeing him bite the dust.

Ah, John Prine -- one of the great songwriters.

My favorite version of this is the Bonnie Raitt cover, which I am now hearing courtesy of internal radio ("Only the lyrics you remember!").
