Breakfast In Birmingham (feat. Brandi Carlile)

Just a little static

Breakin' up The Beatles

AM 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

My bacon cooked up good and crisp for gone

Moved into Alabama

In a purple Firebird

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

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

Oh, Birmingham
