Alabama Woman

As the lights of Tulsa brighten up
The partly cloudy Oklahoma sky
Makes me think of Birmingham
Wonder why I left that girl behind
This Greyhound bus ain't fast enough
I wish the Lord could give me wings to fly
Cause I'm going home to Birmingham
With an Alabama woman on my mind

I've slept in every cheat hotel
And I guess hundred different towns
My meals have been consisting of
Assorted brands of California wine
And looking back I can't believe
I let myself get in that state of mind
And I'm going home to Birmingham
With an Alabama woman on my mind

I've counted every fence post
From Dallas to the Oklahoma line
I'll bet I've thumbed through twenty magazines
Just anything to while away the time
And I've got nothing in my pockets
But a pack of gofer matches and a dime
And I'm going home to Birmingham
With an Alabama woman on my mind

Yes I'm on my way to Birmingham
With an Alabama woman on my mind
I'm going home to Birmingham
With an Alabama woman on my mind
