Birmingham - Big Country

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 skill

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
