Breakfast In Birmingham (Album Version)

(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 didnt 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 youre gonna eat those words
And now im havin breakfast in birmingham
Tryin to swallow my pride
I got a plate full of memories
And not much appetite
There aint nothin like a cold cup of coffee and a stale apology
Im having breakfast in birmingham
Shes in tennessee
Its a thunderin sound silver droppin down
In an ol pay phone
When youre makin that call to say you were wrong
And its ringin like nobodys home
Shes not the kind wholl cry and remind me
That i left and broke her heart
Im prayin she answer cause i gotta tell her
This time i went too far
And now im havin breakfast in birmingham
Tryin to swallow my pride
I got a plate full of memories
And not much appetite
There aint nothin like a cold cup of coffee and a stale apology
Im having breakfast in birmingham
Shes in tennessee
