I've got a two room flat with a view of the bridge 
That crosses over into Arkansas 
It's pretty to see all lit up at night 
Tips are good, waitin' tables at a downtown restaurant 
You sound a little surprised that I might be 
Doing all right 
Yeah, this is a big town, and I still 
Get lost sometimes 
A lot has changed since Montgomery and when 
You said goodbye 
 
Looking back at when I was I can see how 
Far I've come 
From a nobody with a broken heart to feeling 
Like someone 
Now you say you want me back boy let me 
Tell you this 
It's a million miles from Montgomery 
To Memphis 
 
There's nobody special, I'm not in love 
Hasn't been anyone since you 
Now isn't that what you wanted to hear me say 
No, I've got no plans to be back in Montgomery 
Anytime soon 
Sure, we'll get together if you're headed up this way 
You can probably make it in half a day or so 
But you can't just walk back in again, got a long, 
Long way to go
