SOUTH OF BIRMINGHAM YOU GO
JUST THREE HOURS FROM THE COAST
OLD TRAIN STATION
TAKES YOU BACK IN TIME
PEOPLE MARCHING IN THE STREET
RESTLESS GHOSTS THAT NEVER SLEEP
ONCE IT’S IN YOUR BLOOD
WON’T LET YOU GO
IT’S A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN
SEEN IT’S SHARE OF HELL
THERE ARE ANGELS, DEMONS
HEAR THAT DEXTER AVENUE CHURCH BELL
I COULDN’T WAIT TO LEAVE YOU
NOW I’M COMING HOME
TO THOSE SHADY BOULEVARDS
THAT WILL ALWAYS HAUNT ME
HELLO MONTGOMERY
YOU HEAR THAT LONESOME WHIP-POOR-WILL
HANK’S STILL RESTING ON THAT HILL
SPEND SOME TIME UP THERE WITH HIM ALONE
THERE WERE THOSE WHO KNEW YOU FIRST
NATIVE HANDS WORKED YOUR RED EARTH
AND THEY LOVED YOU JUST AS MUCH AS I DO
WITH THAT ALABAMA RIVER
RIGHT THERE BEFORE ME
HELLO MONTGOMERY
