Paint Me a Birmingham

He was sitting there his brush in hand

Paining waves as they danced upon the sand

With every stroke he brought to life

The deeper of the ocean against the morning sky

I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes

He said for twenty dollars I'll paint you anything

Could you paint me a birmingham

Make it look just the way I plan

A little house on the edge of town

Porch going all the way around

Put her there on the front yard swing

Cotton dress make it early spring

For a while she'll be mine again

If you could paint me a birmingham

He looked at me with knowing eyes

And took a canvas from the bag there by his side

Picked up a brush and said to me

Son

Just where in this picture would you like to be

I said

If there's any way you can

Could you paint me back into her arms again

Could you paint me a birmingham

Make it look just the way I plan

A little house on the edge of town

Porch going all the way around

Put her there on the front yard swing

Cotton dress make it early spring

For a while she'll be mine again

If you could paint me a birmingham

Paint me a birmingham

Make it look just the way I plan

A little house on the edge of town

Porch going all the way around

Put her there on the front yard swing

Cotton dress make it early spring

For a while she'll be mine again

If you could paint me a birmingham

Oh paint me a birmingham
