Verse 1 Got a full tank and a restless heart Left your front porch right after dark Said goodbye like I meant it this time But I hear your voice in the telephone lines Pre-Chorus Every mile’s just a little too long When you know you shouldn’t have gone Chorus That’s why I’m almost to Birmingham, Thought I could run, thought I had a plan But love don’t stop just cause you think it can I’m halfway there and I don’t give a damn I’m turnin’ around… I’m almost to Birmingham Verse 2 Turned a country station on I hear your name in every song I see your face in the passing signs How can I leave you behind? Pre-Chorus Every mile’s just a little too long When you know you shouldn’t have gone Chorus I’m almost to Birmingham, Thought I could run, thought I had a plan But love don’t stop just because you think it can I’m halfway there and I don’t give a damn I’m turnin’ around… I’m almost to Birmingham Bridge Maybe my pride got in the way Maybe I thought I’d come back some day But if there’s still a porch light on Tonight I’m coming home Chorus I’m almost to Birmingham, Thought I could run, thought I had a plan But love don’t stop just because you think it can I’m halfway there and I don’t give a damn I’m turnin’ around… I’m almost to Birmingham Pre-Chorus Every mile’s just a little too long When you know you shouldn’t have gone Chorus That’s why I’m almost to Birmingham, Thought I could run, thought I had a plan But love don’t stop just because you think it can I’m halfway there and I don’t give a damn I’m turnin’ around… I’m almost to Birmingham Tag Girl, I know I was wrong I hope you leave the porch light on Honey, it won’t be long I’m almost to Birmingham
