Midnight In Birmingham

Don't know a soul in this old city Don't plan to stay around that long If I had my way and a one way ticket babe Yesterday I'd be gone He was a long shot at forever But I had to take it just the same If I'd only known where he would lead me Hmm, I've only got myself to blame There's no cold Like the sidewalk on the south side When the wind blows down the avenue And chills ya to the bone And there's no blue Like that old empty feeling That leaves you with the bitter taste Of knowin' you were wrong Feels like it's always been Midnight in Birmingham If I'd stayed in Sacramento I'd be okay, I'd be alright hmmm Or maybe if I were down in Denver Least I could see the stars tonight But there's no cold Like the sidewalk on the south side When the wind blows down the avenue And chills ya to the bone And there's no blue Like that old empty feeling That leaves you with the bitter taste Of knowin' you were wrong Feels like it's always been Midnight in Birmingham He called me last week From just outside Houston To swear he was settling down But it won't be long Til the grass looks greener And he's driftin' to some other town Where there's no cold Like the sidewalk on the south side When the wind blows down the avenue And chills ya to the bone And there's no blue Like that old empty feeling That leaves you with the bitter taste Of knowin' you were wrong Feels like it's always been Midnight in Birmingham Hmmm
