Radio Paradise (mobile)

I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

Chorus:
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry
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

When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.

Repeat Chorus

There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.

Repeat Chorus

Actually the 'cheese' remark referred to a different song than this one, and one that did not even involve Ms. Raitt or Mr. Prine. See remarks below. There is no cheese anywhere on this gorgeous tune. [ Reply ]

hayduke2 Apr 05, 2012 - 12:55	Mr. Prine, man, I first was made aware of him watching Austin City Limits away long time ago on public television... his show was great writtin word, super real voice, laughing one song and then silent sobbing to the next. Ms. Raitt is an angel [ Reply ]
