Montgomery in the Rain

You don't have to hide your baby
You don't have to go get no gun
Oh how can you blame me for
Things I ain't never done
I used to live here and
Now I've come back again
Just to stop for awhile and think
How things might of been
I had to come back to remeber the joy
And the pain and if it's 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 feelin'
Down washing cars and shining shoes
I once met a woman here with
Ways like I've never see
And we used to ramble from
Here to ol' New Orleans

I had to come back to remember
The joy and the pain
But it won't be long till I'll be
Gone 'cause it ain't the same
But I did want to see Montgomery in the rain

I've just come back here to
Stare and ol' 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 go get no gun
Don't you stare like I'm crazy just
'cause I'm Hank's only son

I had to come back to remember
The joy and the pain
But it won't be long till I'm
Gone cause it ain't the same

So if it's alright with you before
I get back the train
I'm a go out to Hank's tombstone
And cry up a thunderstorm

I got to see Montgomery in the rain
