Big Country - Birmingham lyrics

Rainman makes his pretty patterns Up and down the street I ask about his timing But he doesn't like to speak I get a weather warning in my rental car I should be out of here but I'm not getting far I'm stuck with a girl like you down in Birmingham In the stormy weather I'm just waiting for the clouds to blow, for the rains to go Feels like forever I'm stuck here with a girl like you down in Birmingham And the storm is a raging I'm just watching while the clouds explode, staying on the road While you watch me aging I didn't mean to spend a moment in this place Alabama medicine turns hours into days Ladies treat you kindly when you're full of dollar bills They wash the whiskey from your eyes with consummate sk** I'm stuck with a girl like you down in Birmingham In the stormy weather I'm just watching for the clouds to blow, for the rains to go Feels like forever I'm stuck here with a girl like you down in Birmingham And the storm is a raging I'm just waiting while the clouds explode, staying on the road While you watch me aging Thanks for the time that I get, yeah Thank you for the blues Thanks for a hole in the sky The sun comes shining through I'm stuck with a girl like you down in Birmingham In the stormy weather I'm just waiting for the clouds to blow, for the rains to go Seems like forever I'm stuck here with a girl like you down in Birmingham And the storm is a raging I'm just waiting while the clouds explode, staying on the road While you watch me aging Thanks for the time that I get, yeah Thank you for the blues Thanks for a hole in the sky The sun comes shining through
