Atlanta & Birmingham - Deana Carter

Well, I killed a man in Birmingham I hit him with a tire iron He did not move, and I do not give a damn I've been working here like a slavin' mule Sucking the earth of dry crude Looking for a way out of it all Cops are coming I can feel 'em here My back is crawling with standing hair Wouldn't mind to see a few pigs fall So take me down to the river My blood all on the floor 'Cause I don't know if I can carry this weight much longer anymore Take me up the mountain On a cloud bound for the sky Don't go prayin' for me because tonight I'm prepared to die Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh, oh Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh, oh That night out there in Birmingham, that boy he tried to rob me I did not want to, but I had to show that boy the real me That night I often wonder what my tombstone would say Would it mention any of my good or just evil in my days? The dust has not settled, from the boys who busted in I am not a bad man but there's bullets in my skin Take me down to the river My blood all on the floor 'Cause I don't know if I can carry this weight much longer anymore Take me up the mountain On a cloud bound for the sky Don't go prayin' for me because tonight I'm prepared to die Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh-ooh, oh Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh Well, I killed a man in Birmingham, that boy he tried to rob me I did not want to, but I had to show that boy the real me

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby?
