Bus To Birmingham (LP Version) - John Michael Montgomery |
| [00:13.24] |
She didn't see me see her cryin' |
| [00:17.01] |
As she sat there by the window |
| [00:20.44] |
On a southbound Greyhound leavin' town |
| [00:27.42] |
The hardest thing I've ever done |
| [00:30.52] |
Was to walk away and let that woman go |
| [00:35.03] |
'Cause she came close to turnin' me around |
| [00:41.39] |
Now I know she missed her mama |
| [00:44.75] |
'Cause that's the kind of life she comes from |
| [00:48.40] |
Ain't no kind of life I'm ever gonna have |
| [00:55.01] |
She said she'd call me from the station |
| [00:58.57] |
But I'll be gone before she gets there |
| [01:02.47] |
And I'll see her every time I'm lookin' back |
| [01:09.22] |
Heaven knows I ain't no angel |
| [01:12.67] |
And I don't always do the right thing |
| [01:16.24] |
And right now I know that she don't understand |
| [01:23.86] |
But I'll sleep better knowin' |
| [01:27.00] |
The only thing I ever loved |
| [01:30.17] |
Is on that bus to Birmingham |
| [01:40.46] |
Tonight I'll slip back in the shadows |
| [01:44.06] |
And I'll sip a glass of whiskey |
| [01:47.33] |
And I'll try to keep from whisperin' her name |
| [01:54.34] |
But there's some highways I ain't driven |
| [01:57.88] |
And there's some towns that I ain't lived in |
| [02:01.12] |
And there's some times that |
| [02:03.24] |
I can't get out of the rain |
| [02:08.76] |
And Lord I can't bear to break |
| [02:11.38] |
Another promise that I made her |
| [02:15.25] |
So I made out like I wanted her to go |
| [02:22.74] |
And I'm better off believin' |
| [02:25.74] |
That she's better off without me |
| [02:29.02] |
'Cause I don't want her to see me do her wrong |
| [02:36.15] |
Heaven knows I ain't no angel |
| [02:39.66] |
And I don't always do the right thing |
| [02:43.19] |
And right now I know that she don't understand |
| [02:50.96] |
But I'll sleep better knowin' |
| [02:54.05] |
The only thing I ever loved |
| [02:57.13] |
Is on that bus to Birmingham |
| [03:07.53] |
Heaven knows I don't always to the right thing |
| [03:14.50] |
And right now I know that she don't understand |
| [03:22.25] |
But I'll sleep better knowin' |
| [03:25.28] |
The only thing I ever loved |
| [03:28.15] |
Is on that bus to Birmingham |
