steve young - montgomery in the rain (1978) lyrics

[verse 1]
well, here i am again down in montgomery, alabam
my luck ain’t never been up but i’m used to it down
so all of you people, don’t look at me and frown
i don’t wanna stay here and i’m just passin’ through your town
and i’ve just come back here to see an old stained window pane
before you tear it all down and bring out your crane
i did want to see montgomery in the rain

[verse 2]
’round these streets and old houses a lot of changes i’ve been through
from the top of the town to washin’ cars and 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 want to see montgomery in the rain

[verse 3]
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 askin’ for nothin’ but my song and 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 me up a thunderstorm chain
’cause i did want to see montgomery in the rain
