Montgomery
montgomery
there's a purple haze over montgomery ...
where the storms blow in ... off the salt ...
it's another new orleans sad song out of storyville ...
about how her life just ain't no party ...
that hot wind blows on the delta ...
can make it's way into your heart ...
if you don't look too hard ... and don't force your cards ...
you might find that you make a new start ...
the devil makes off with his quarry ...
and there goes your promise of glory ...
so tell me ... montgomery ...
where is your heart ... and is your love real ...
can you tell me ... montgomery ...
which way will the wind blow ... what's your story gonna be ...
can you tell me ... montgomery ...
you're telling me this feels like the real thing ...
but you're telling me he still belongs to another ...
why do you always pick somebody who's taken ...
some damn fool who still lives with his mother ...
the devil makes off with his quarry ...
and there goes your promise of glory ...
so tell me ... montgomery ...
where is your heart ... and is your love real ...
can you tell me ... montgomery ...
which way will the wind blow ... what's your story gonna be ...
can you tell me ... montgomery ...
can you tell me ... montgomery ...
can you tell me ... montgomery ...
there's a purple haze over montgomery ...
