John Michael Montgomery - Bus To Birmingham lyrics

rate me

She didn't see me see her cryin'

As she sat there by the window

On a southbound Greyhound leavin' town

The hardest thing I've ever done

Was to walk away and let that woman go

'Cause she came close to turnin' me around

Now I know she missed her mama

'Cause that's the kind of life she comes from

Ain't no kind of life I'm ever gonna have

She said she'd call me from the station

But I'll be gone before she gets there

And I'll see her every time I'm lookin' back

Heaven knows I ain't no angel

And I don't always do the right thing

And right now I know that she don't understand

But I'll sleep better knowin'

The only thing I ever loved

Is on that bus to Birmingham

Tonight I'll slip back in the shadows

And I'll sip a glass of whiskey

And I'll try to keep from whisperin' her name

But there's some highways I ain't driven

And there's some towns that I ain't lived in

And there's some times that I can't get out of the rain

And Lord I can't bear to break

Another promise that I made her

So I made out like I wanted her to go

And I'm better off believin'

That she's better off without me

'Cause I don't want her to see me do her wrong

Heaven knows I ain't no angel

And I don't always do the right thing

And right now I know that she don't understand

But I'll sleep better knowin'

The only thing I ever loved

Is on that bus to Birmingham

Heaven knows I don't always to the right thing

And right now I know that she don't understand

But I'll sleep better knowin'

The only thing I ever loved

Is on that bus to Birmingham
