Tijuana To Birmingham

She was born in Tijuana 

Wild as that old western town

Somehow the years found her

Out here in Birmingham 

We met in a restaurant 

Swapping stories of the west

As the nighttime rolled along

She touched away the misery that was beating in my chest

And I shared with her the stories

Of a wild man who roams

She laughed with understanding 

Sharing stories of her own

She was born in Tijuana 

Wild as that old western town

Then landed in El Paso 

And made her way to Birmingham 

In the morning she told me

How she would hold me until I moved on

I knew from the night we spent without sleeping

I found a dream I thought was gone

And I shared with her the stories

Of a drunk man singing a lonesome song

She smiled with understanding

And shared a lonesome dream of her own

She was born in Tijuana 

Wild as that old western town

The good lord sent her

To save a wild man from dying alone in Birmingham 

She was born in Tijuana 

Wild as that old western town
