I 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 Lookin' back at where 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 Oh 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 got no plans To be back in Montgomery anytime soon Sure, we'll get together if you're headed up this way You could 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 Looking back at where 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 Oh boy, let me tell you this It's a million miles From Montgomery to Memphis Now you say you want me back Oh boy, let me tell you this It's a million miles From Montgomery to Memphis Million miles
