As the lights of Tulsa brighten up the partly cloudy Oklahoma skies
It 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 motel 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 bet I've thumbed through 20 magazines just anything to while away the time
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 going home to Birmingham with an Alabama woman on my mind
I'm going home to Birmingham with an Alabama woman on my mind
