Breakfast in Birmingham Songtext
von Tanya Tucker

Just a little static
Breakin′ up The Beatles
A.m. wake-up Tuesday mornin' tunes
It′s a turquoise-blue good mornin'
With the copper eagle flyin'
Whippin′ through the plains north across the motel-rendezvous

You know me, I′m still a-movin'
Just as slow as ol′ molasses
A bacon cooked up good and crisp for gone
Moved into Alabama in a purple fire-bird
A-lookin' for some love, lookin′ for the words to write a song

As cheap as gas is here
I will look beyond my longin'
The extra dollar doesn′t mean a damn
If I get clear of Jasper
And all this Dixie thunder
I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham


Hippies on the shoulder
Yeah, they're at a place hereabouts
They′re tie-dyed and golden-haired and free
All the motorcycle cowboys
Highway 269ers
Pullin′ up the shades and shuttin' down the rebel history

Oh, me, I′m still a-blowin'
Through the same old C-sharp harp
Old hymns and Arthur Alexander songs
Ah, Jake Hess is up in Heaven
Together, they′ll both be singin'
A-singin′ with the Lord above you, best be movin' on

As cheap as gas is here
I will look beyond my longin'
The extra dollar doesn′t mean a damn
If I get clear of Jasper
And all this Dixie thunder
I′ll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham

As cheap as gas is here
I will look beyond my longin'
The extra dollar doesn′t mean a damn
If I get clear of Jasper
And all this Dixie thunder
I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham


I′ll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham
Breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham
Woah, Birmingham
