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
