Bus To Birmingham — текст песни (John Michael Montgomery)

She didn`t see me see her cryin`
As she sat there by the window
On a southbound Greyhound leavin` town
The hardest thing I`ve ever done
Was to walk away and let that woman go
`Cause she came close to turnin` me around
Now I know she missed her mama
`Cause that`s the kind of life she comes from
Ain`t no kind of life I`m ever gonna have
She said she`d call me from the station
But I`ll be gone before she gets there
And I`ll see her every time I`m lookin` back

Chorus
Heaven knows I ain`t no angel
And I don`t always do the right thing
And right now I know that she don`t understand
But I`ll sleep better knowin`
The only thing I ever loved
Is on that bus to Birmingham

Tonight I`ll slip back in the shadows
And I`ll sip a glass of whiskey
And I`ll try to keep from whisperin` her name
But there`s some highways I ain`t driven
And there`s some towns that I ain`t lived in
And there`s some times that I can`t get out of the rain
And Lord I can`t bear to break
Another promise that I made her
So I made out like I wanted her to go
And I`m better off believin`
That she`s better off without me
`Cause I don`t want her to see me do her wrong

Chorus

Heaven knows I don`t always to the right thing
And right now I know that she don`t understand
But I`ll sleep better knowin`
The only thing I ever loved
Is on that bus to Birmingham
