Montgomery In The Rain

Steve Young

© Golden Chain Music, BMI

Well here I am again down in Montgomery Alabama
My luck ain't never been up but I'm used to it down
So all you people don't look at me and frown
I don't wanna stay here I'm just passing through your town
And I just come back here to see an old stained window pane
Before you tear all down and bring out your crane
I did want to see Montgomery in the rain

Round these streets an old houses a lotta changes I've been through
From the top of the town to weashin' cars bein' down out and blue
And I once met a woman here with ways like I'd never seen
And I used to love to ramble between here and New Orleans
And I've just come back here to remember a joy and a pain
And look back to a year through a tear and an old window pane
And I did wanna see Montgomery in the rain

So you don't have to hide your baby you don't have to go get no gun
I know I look funny to you all honey but I'm just one
Who was once from here and now who's come back again
And I ain't asking for nothing but my song in a cemetery wind
Cause if it's all right with you before I get back on my train
I wanna go out by Hank's tombstone cry the other thunderstorm chain
Cause I did wanna see Montgomery in the rain
