Lyrics Eric Church – Becky’s Back In Birmingham

Round here it’s the bills and the lack of jobs that dominates our table talk
But tonight as I buttered up my bread, mama said: «guess who I saw, hoss?»
I heard her name and I felt the pain of excitement and regret
And just like that, in my mind, I was 21 again

That Becky’s back in Birmingham
I bet she never guessed
That there’s places in my heart that Becky never left
I wonder if she’s hummin’
Our old song the way I am
Now that Becky’s back in Birmingham

Yeah, I guess she never caught that dream that she left here to chase
Cause she’s been burnin’ wild through mine like a can’t be put out flame
Yeah, I wonder if she got rid of that ring or does she have it still
Does she ever wish her no could’ve been, yes, the way I always will
I guess there’s only one way to find out

Why Becky’s back in Birmingham
I bet she never guessed
That there’s places in my heart that Becky never left
I wonder if she’s thinking the same thoughts that I am
Now that Becky’s back in Birmingham

Here I stand reelin’, I got that first-time front porch kiss stealing, fallin’ feelin’
When she looks into my eyes and smiles

Yeah, Becky’s back in Birmingham
And few would’ve ever guessed
That I made a mark on Becky’s heart that she can’t quite forget
Things are finally back to being
The way they should’ve always been
Now that Becky’s back in Birmingham
Becky’s back in Birmingham
