montgomery

maybe if montgomery wasn't on my way back home

65 south straight down from nashville wouldn't feel so long

i wouldn't ever get the urge to put your name in a country song

soon as i see city lights

i know i'm getting close

no detour

no backroad

no other way to go

so i turn up the radio

pedal down

left lane

and i light up a cigarette

anything to get me

through these ten miles of memories

pulling me back to you

countin' down the exits

and the reasons you don't want me

get me through montgomery

maybe if i didn't know you moved on

wouldn't be so rough

wouldn't have this vision of you sitting right here in my truck

can't fix our history

can't change what it was

if i could then i would make you fall back in love

so i turn up the radio

pedal down

left lane

and i light up a cigarette

anything to get me

through these ten miles of memories

pulling me back to you

countin' down the exits

and the reasons you don't want me

so get me through montgomery

so i turn up the radio

pedal down

left lane

and i light up a cigarette

anything to get me

through these ten miles of memories

pulling me back to you

so i turn up the radio

pedal down

left lane

and i light up a cigarette

anything to get me

through these ten miles of memories

pulling me back to you

countin' down the exits

and the reasons you don't want me

yeah i'm countin' down the seconds

till the road to you's behind me

get me through montgomery

oh get me through montgomery

oh get me through montgomery

oh yeah

maybe if montgomery wasn't on my way back home
