Breakfast In Birmingham — текст песни (David Lee Murphy)

(David Lee Murphy/Kim Tribble)

She was still on my mind when I crossed the state line
Walked out a little too fast
I said some things that I didn`t mean
And I should have taken `em back
And I knew when I said `em that voice in my head whispered
Man when are you gonna learn
You told her goodbye you left with your pride
But you`re gonna eat those words

And now I`m havin` breakfast in Birmingham
Tryin` to swallow my pride
I got a plate full of memories
And not much appetite
There ain`t nothin` like a cold cup of coffee and a stale apology
I`m having breakfast in Birmingham
She`s in Tennessee

It`s a thunderin` sound silver droppin` down
In an ol` pay phone
When you`re makin` that call to say you were wrong
And it`s ringin` like nobody`s home
She`s not the kind who`ll cry and remind me
That I left and broke her heart
I`m prayin` she answer `cause I gotta tell her
This time I went too far

And now I`m havin` breakfast in Birmingham
Tryin` to swallow my pride
I got a plate full of memories
And not much appetite
There ain`t nothin` like a cold cup of coffee and a stale apology
I`m having breakfast in Birmingham
She`s in Tennessee
