Lyrics:

Broke down in Birmingham, in steamy Alabam
Fifty thousand pounds in the back
It ain't the best place to stop
When they gotta get of that clock
Run a hundred miles on the inside lane
Broke down in Birmingham
Had to bind up a company hand
Still waiting on this and that
That are never comin' back
Broke down in Birmingham

Now I'm still in my truck
And my ten hours are up
I'm listening to the rain a-pouring down
You know it's coming down so bad
It's got me feeling kinda sad
The more I hear it, the more it makes me wanna frown
Broke down in Birmingham
Had to bind up a company hand
Still waiting on this and that
That are never comin' back
Broke down in Birmingham

I'd like to end this song saying I moved on
But I'm still stuck in this god-forsaken palce
You might hear about it on the news
A truck driver died, I wrote the blues
You know they found me with a frown froze on my face
Broke down in Birmingham
Had to bind up a company hand
Still, uh, waiting on this and that
That are never comin' back
Broke down in Birmingham

Good Lordy, good Lordy
