Lyric Breakfast In Birmingham

(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
