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
(Like they always do)
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
(Like they always do)
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
(Like they always do)
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
