Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Sum[D]mer[G] af[C]ter[Dsus4] graduati[Am]on[D]
[G]Two kids stuck in [Em]Alabama
[Am]We'd be lovers [D]any way we [G]could
[Am]A ten buck wedding ce[D]remony
A [G]guy outside the [Em]courthouse told me
The [C]weather down in South
[Am]Beach sure was g[D]ood
So we [Am]hit the road like
[C]any dreamers would
[D]

[Verse 2]
She was [G]mine for a time
in [C]Miam[Am]i
Thought I [G]had her in the
[Em]palm of my [A]hand[D]
Like [G]the sunrise the truth
finally [C]hit [Am]me
That her [G]heart was [Bm]halfway
[C]back to [D]Birmingham
[G][D][G][C][D][C][Dsus4]

[Verse 3]
[Am]This
ain't what she [D]really wanted
So [G]baby we went on [Em]back to Mama
[Am]Found a note when [D]I got home last n[G]ight
[Am]Left a fifty [D]for the landlord
[G]Nothin' here [Em]to stay around for
[C]Ain't but one way [Am]left to make it [D]right
So I'm [Am]headed for that [C]Alabama line
[D]

[Verse 4]
She was [G]mine for a time
in [C]Miam[Am]i
[G]But things don't always [Em]work
out like you [A]plan[D]
Now I'm [G]nearly out of gas
and it's [C]raining[Am]
But I'm [G]almost [Bm]halfway [C]back to [D]Birmingham
[G]

[Verse 5]
[C]Like the[G] sunrise the
truth finally [C]hit [Am]me
That her [G]heart was [Bm]halfway
[C]back to [D]Birmingham

[Outro 1]
[G][D][G][C][D]
