Montgomery In The Rain

Montgomery in the Rain

You don’t have to hide your baby
You don’t have to go get no gun
Well how can you blame me for things I aint never done
I used to live here, and now I’ve come back again
Just to stop for a while and think how things might have been
I had to come back to remember the joy and the pain
And if its alright with you before I get back on the train
I just want to see Montgomery in the rain
Around these streets and old houses a whole lot of changes I’ve been through
From the top of the town to feeling down and washing cars and shining shoes
I once met a woman with ways like I’ve never seen
And we used to ramble from here to old New Orleans
I had to come back to remember the joy and the pain
But it won’t be long till I’m gone, cause it aint the same
But I did want to see Montgomery in the rain
I’ve just come back here to stare at an old window pane
For one last look before you tear it all down with your crane
You don’t have to hide your baby you don’t have to go get no guns
Don’t you stare like I’m crazy just ‘cause I went on the run
I had to come back to remember the joy and the pain
But it won’t be long till I’m gone cause it aint the same
So if its allright with you before I get back on the train
I just want to see Montgomery in the rain
I gotta see Montgomery in the rain
