Halfway Back To Birmingham — текст песни (Mark Chesnutt)

Summer after graduation
Two kids stuck in Alabama
We`d be lovers any way we could
A ten buck wedding ceremony
A guy outside the courthouse told me
The weather down in South Beach
sure was good
So we hit the road like any dreamers would

She was mine for a time in Miami
Thought I had her in the palm of my hand
Like the sunrise the truth finally hit me
That her heart was halfway back to Birmingham

This ain`t what she really wanted
So baby we went on back to Mama
Found a note when I got home last night
Left a fifty for the landlord
Nothin` here to stay around for
Ain`t but one way left to make it right
So I`m headed for that Alabama line

She was mine for a time in Miami
But things don`t always fw9ork out like you plan
Now I`m nearly out of gas and it`s raining
But I`m almost halfway back to Birmingham

Like the sunrise the truth finally hit me
That her heart was halfway back to Birmingham
