Caught a plane to Birmingham Leaving you was my plan Then head on south by any means Thought I might blend in 'round New Orleans But when the plane got off the ground I saw your face in a cloud Saw your tears out on the wing Don't guess my heart was free to leave Birmingham would have to wait for a little later date And I said I'd see you later New Orleans 'Cause I knew my rambling ways had seen their better days And suddenly I had a change in dreams Caught a plane from Birmingham Back in your arms is where I am
At times we laugh and talk about The day I did the Birmingham turnaround Birmingham would have to wait for a little later date And I said I'd see you later New Orleans 'Cause I knew my rambling ways had seen their better days And suddenly I had a change in dreams Caught a plane from Birmingham Back in your arms is where I am At times we laugh and talk about The day I did the Birmingham turnaround And now we laugh and talk about The day I did the Birmingham turnaround
