"Breakfast In Birmingham" lyrics - TANYA TUCKER

[Verse 1: Brandi Carlile]
Just a little static
Breakin' up The Beatles
AM wake-up Tuesday mornin' tunes
It's a turquoise-blue good mornin'
With the copper eagle flyin'
Whippin' through the plains north across the motel-rendezvous

[Verse 2: Tanya Tucker]
You know me, I'm still a-movin'
Just as slow as ol' molasses
Bacon cooked up good and crisp for gone
Moved into Alabam
In a purple Firebird
A-lookin' for some love, lookin' for the words to write a song

[Chorus: Tanya Tucker & Brandi Carlile]
As cheap as gas is here
I will look beyond my longin'
The extra dollar doesn't mean a damn
If I get clear of Jasper
And all this Dixie thunder
I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham

[Verse 3: Brandi Carlile]
Hippies on the shoulder
Yeah, they're at a place hereabouts
They're tie-dyed and golden-haired and free
All the motorcycle cowboys
Highway 269ers
Pullin' up the shades and shuttin' down the rebel history

[Verse 4: Tanya Tucker]
Oh, me, I'm still a-blowin'
Through the same old C-sharp harp
Old hymns and Arthur Alexander songs
Jake Hess is up in Heaven
Together, they'll both be singin'
A-singin' with the Lord above you, best be movin' on

[Chorus: Tanya Tucker & Brandi Carlile]
As cheap as gas is here
I will look beyond my longin'
The extra dollar doesn't mean a damn
If I get clear of Jasper
And all this Dixie thunder
I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham
As cheap as gas is here
I will look beyond my longin'
The extra dollar doesn't mean a damn
If I get clear of Jasper
And all this Dixie thunder
I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham

[Outro: Tanya Tucker & Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker]
I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham
Breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham
Oh, Birmingham
