"
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder
And lightening was desire
Then this old house
Would have burnt down
A long time ago
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder
And lightening was desire
Then this old house
Would have burnt down
A long time ago
It's about a middle aged woman who is looking back and hoping for better times. Song most famously recorded by Bonnie Rait and there is a video of her, with John Prine, performing live on stage.
