My performance partner is seeking the lyrics to a song called Backing into Birmingham. I searched the DT for Birmingham and didn't find that song. If you've got the lyrics, please email them to me! Thanks, Vic Baker_victor@sirus.commnet.edu |

BACKIN' TO BIRMINGHAM
I read an ad in Chicago's Sunday paper:
Said: "Son, you're just the man I'm needing."
Well, I finally got inside and got it started,
Well, it wasn't easy backing through the traffic,
The police pulled me over down in Nashville.
I backed it in a truck stop and said: "Fill it,
Oh, there must be a button on here somewhere
But if I keep it up, I'll finally make it, |
