[chorus]
I’m on the road to Montgomery
In the middle of the night
Try’na wash away the memory
Of you bathed in my tail lights
As I drive into the darkness
I see you faidin’ out of sight
When I get back from Montgomery
I’ll make it right
Gonna make it right
[guitar and drums]
[verse]
It was an interesting summer
I spent too much time away
Even though I left you alone you’re in my heart
I think about you everyday
Wish I could be with you tonight
That’s the reason why I pray
I’ll find my way back home
And won’t let go
I hate to make you feel this way
[chorus]
I’m on the road to Montgomery
In the middle of the night
Try’na wash away the memory
Of you bathed in my tail lights
As I drive into the darkness
I see you faidin’ out of sight
When I get back from Montgomery
I’ll make it right
Gonna make it right
Gonna make it right
[guitar solo]
[bridge]
I could’ve been a civil servant
And work a nine to five each day
Then I’d always hear your laughter
And I would never be away
Then I could
Hold you close
Hear your secrets
Chase our dreams
Have no regrets
I’m telling you
from the heart
From the start
I’ve always dreamed it’d be that way
[chorus]
I’m on the road to Montgomery
In the middle of the night
Try’na wash away the memory
Of you bathed in my tail lights
As I drive into the darkness
I see you faidin’ out of sight
When I get back from Montgomery
I’ll make it right
Gonna make it right
