lyrics

A LITTLE SOUTH OF BIRMINGHAM
(Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music, BMI)

From just a little south of Birmingham
My baby called me on the phone
She said she maybe missed me now and then
And maybe I should come back home

460 miles to Birmingham
From Cincinnati, Ohio
Kentucky, Tennessee, then Alabam'
Back to the sweetest place I know

I did something that I should not have done
Something that she could not forgive
And when my key would not unlock our door
That's when I headed north to live

But that big city ain't no place for me
I can barely breathe the air
The only grass is growing through the cracks
In all the concrete everywhere

So every night, I just come home from work
Stare out the window through the bars
And then I think about the love I lost
And wish that I could see the stars

I'm just a little south of Birmingham
And there's my baby at her door
I know I'll never break her heart again
I'll never leave here any more

I'm just a little south of Birmingham
I'm just a little south of Birmingham
