DAMN BIRMINGHAM

VERSE

CROSSIN’ THE TENNESSEE RIVER. I FELT AN ICE COLD SHIVER
DOWN TO MY BONES TELLIN’ ME I’M NOT ALONE
JUST SOUTH OF HUNTSVILLE HER MEM’RY WHISPERED I WILL 
ALWAYS LOVE YOU THAT’S WHEN I KNEW
SHOULD’VE TURNED THAT CAR AROUND RIGHT THERE AND THEN
JUST A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD I’LL START MISSIN’ HER AGAIN

CHORUS

DAMN BIRMINGHAM
I’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
WHY I KEEP COMIN’ BACK, MAKIN’ ROOM FOR ONE MORE CRACK
IN MY BROKEN HEART I CAN FEEL ONE START
WHEN I SEE THAT CITY LIMIT SIGN, IT REMINDS ME ONE MORE TIME
SHE’S NOT MINE, DAMN BIRMINGHAM

VERSE

DRIVIN’ THROUGH MISSISSIPPI, SHE’S NO LONGER WITH ME
AND I’M FEELIN’ FINE/ I LEFT HER  MILES BEHIND
TURNED AROUND IN JACKSON, FELT HER CREEPIN’ BACK IN
HOW DOES SHE KNOW I’M COMIN’ HOME?
I SLOWED DOWN TO FIFTY FIVE, BUT THAT’S STILL TOO FAST
LORD KNOWS I’M IN NO HURRY TO GET BACK TO MY PAST

CHORUS

DAMN BIRMINGHAM
I’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
WHY I KEEP COMIN’ BACK MAKIN’ ROOM FOR ONE MORE CRACK
IN MY BROKEN HEART I CAN FEEL ONE START
WHEN I SEE THAT CITY LIMIT SIGN, IT REMINDS ME ONE MORE TIME
SHE’S NOT MINE DAMN BIRMINGHAM

BRIDGE

SHE’S LIVIN’ IN THE HOUSE I SHOULD’VE BUILT
AND PLAYIN’ WITH THE KIDS WE SHOULD’VE HAD BUT NEVER WILL

CHORUS

DAMN BIRMINGHAM
I’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
WHY I KEEP COMIN’ BACK, MAKIN’ ROOM FOR ONE MORE CRACK
IN MY BROKEN HEART, I CAN FEEL ONE START
WHEN I SEE THAT CITY LIMIT SIGN, IT REMINDS ME ONE MORE TIME
SHE’S NOT MINE. DAMN BIRMINGHAM
IT REMINDS ME ONE MORE TIME SHE’S NOT MINE
DAMN BIRMINGHAM
