CCaught a plane to BirmingFham
GLeaving you was my Cplan
CThen head on south by any Fmeans
DmThought I might blend in ?round New OrlGeans
GBut when the plane got off the Fground
GI saw your face in a Ccloud
CSaw your tears out on the Fwing
DmDon?t guess my Gheart was free to Cleave
[Chorus] x2
BirmingFham would have to wait for a Emlittle later date
And I Fsaid I?d see you later New OrCleans
Cause I Fknew my rambling ways had Emseen their better days
And Dsuddenly I had a change in Gdreams
GCaught a plane from BirmingFham
GBack in your arms is where I Cam
At Ctimes we laugh and talk aFbout
The Dmday I did the GBirmingham turnaCround
