Montreal

I remember you had your bags packed by the door

The black canvas tote with the white handle

You were rushing I was trying to stay cool

It was the perfect day

To leave it all

For Montreal

The sun was 'bout to rise on a sleepless night

And I know it's not an easy kind of life

I chased you out the door to say goodbye

You never saw me

And you never called

From Montreal

And I heard you hit the big one

And burned brighter than the city lights

Ain't coming back until the money's all gone

And you're satisfied

And you can't recall

Montreal

Send my love, send my love

To Montreal

Time is like a weight when you travel alone

And living in the fast lane will kill you slow

I remember how you said not to let it show

When they called to say

You left it all

In Montreal

I heard you hit the big one

And burned brighter than the city lights

Ain't coming back but I'll meet you there when I'm done

And I'm satisfied

And I get the call

For Montreal

Send my love, send my love

To Montreal

I know it's not an easy life, you'd never be satisfied

And I promised not to let it show but I'm trying to break this hold

And I know it's not an easy life, you'd never be satisfied

And I promised not to let it show but I'm trying to let go

Of Montreal
