To believe in this living 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 try The 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 living is just a hard way to go There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin' But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today But how the hell can a person go to work in the morning Come home in the evenin' and have nothin' 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 living is just a hard way to go

Aunt Clara kept her Bible right next to the phone
G
Dsus2
In case she needed a quote, while she talked to someone
Asus4
In my memory she smiles while the blessing is said
G
Dsus2
And visions of freeze tag dance in my head
Asus4
She says I'll grow up big if I eat all my roast
G
Dsus2
I'll still believe in heaven but I won't believe in ghosts anymore
Asus4
I'll put away childish things
G
Dsus2
I'll put away childish things Every other weekend, age of thirteen With my fishing pole and my Field and Stream Riding back home on the Trailways bus I looked out the window till I saw too much And I called my parents by their own first name I played in the alley, but I didn't play the game anymore I put away childish things I put away childish things

The wolves howl all night long

They won't stop and they won't go home

Beneath my window they run

And probably it'll be alright

If I keep it locked up tight

And wait till daylight comes

Now my boy goes like a house on fire He'll never burn out and he'll never retire And I remember when I used to think like that When I was young and the world was flat But I'm 40 some years old now and man I don't care All I want now is just a comfortable chair And to sell all my stock and live on the coast I don't believe in heaven but I still believe in ghosts I've put away childish things I've put away childish things I've put away childish things I've put away childish things The wolves howl all night long They won't stop and they won't go home Beneath my window they run And probably it'll be alright If I keep it locked up tight And wait till daylight comes If I wait till daylight comes

I Could've Been Your Lover Too [Rachel Baiman]

Capo:
II
Am
There's a hometown honey in a dress of blue Moulded to your body from your head to your shoes Women are many but lovers are few I could've been your lover too She's sweet as the sound of an old fiddle tune Willing as the sun in the month of June Here I am staring like the unabashed moon I could've been your lover too

G
Am
The fastest horse is already racing The prettiest pie is already baking Men in love ain't mine for the taking
F
C
G
Am
But if he comes my way, Lord, I'm gonna shake him I'm chewing my lips and counting my steps Imagining your weight upon my breast Women are many but lovers are few I could've been your lover too Watching your back for the hint of a sign But you stand up straight and you hold line I never had the right to feel the way I do I could've been your lover too The fastest horse is already racing The prettiest pie is already baking Men in love ain't mine for the taking But if he comes my way, Lord, I'm gonna shake him There's a hometown honey with a dress of blue Moulded to your body from your head to your shoes Women are many but lovers are few I could've been your lover too
