Текст песни Midnight in Birmingham - Herrick

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
