She was still on my mind when I crossed the state line Walked out a little too fast I said some things that I didn't mean And I should have taken 'em back And I knew when I said 'em that voice in my head whispered Man when are you gonna learn You told her goodbye you left with your pride But you're gonna eat those words
And now I'm havin' breakfast in birmingham Tryin' to swallow my pride I got a plate full of memories And not much appetite There ain't nothin' like a cold cup of coffee and a stale apology I'm having breakfast in birmingham She's in tennessee
It's a thunderin' sound silver droppin' down In an ol' pay phone When you're makin' that call to say you were wrong And it's ringin' like nobody's home She's not the kind who'll cry and remind me That I left and broke her heart I'm prayin' she answer 'cause I gotta tell her This time I went too far
And now I'm havin' breakfast in birmingham Tryin' to swallow my pride I got a plate full of memories And not much appetite There ain't nothin' like a cold cup of coffee and a stale apology I'm having breakfast in birmingham She's in tennessee
