Breakfast In Birmingham (feat. Brandi Carlile)

Just a little static Breakin' up The Beatles A.m. wake-up Tuesday mornin' tunes It's a turquoise-blue good mornin' With the copper eagle flyin' Whippin' through the plains north across the motel-rendezvous You know me, I'm still a-movin' Just as slow as ol' molasses A bacon cooked up good and crisp for gone Moved into Alabama in a purple fire-bird A-lookin' for some love, lookin' for the words to write a song As cheap as gas is here I will look beyond my longin' The extra dollar doesn't mean a damn If I get clear of Jasper And all this Dixie thunder I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham Hippies on the shoulder Yeah, they're at a place hereabouts They're tie-dyed and golden-haired and free All the motorcycle cowboys Highway 269ers Pullin' up the shades and shuttin' down the rebel history Oh, me, I'm still a-blowin' Through the same old C-sharp harp Old hymns and Arthur Alexander songs Ah, Jake Hess is up in Heaven Together, they'll both be singin' A-singin' with the Lord above you, best be movin' on As cheap as gas is here I will look beyond my longin' The extra dollar doesn't mean a damn If I get clear of Jasper And all this Dixie thunder I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham As cheap as gas is here I will look beyond my longin' The extra dollar doesn't mean a damn If I get clear of Jasper And all this Dixie thunder I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham Breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham Woah, Birmingham
