Paint Me a Birmingham

Paint Me a Birmingham - Ameritz Tribute Tracks

He was sitting' there his brush in hand

Painting' waves as they danced

Upon the sand

With every stroke he brought to life

The deep blue 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 planned

A little house on the edge of town

Porch going' all the way around

Put her there in the front yard swing

Cotton dress make it early spring

For a while she'll be mine again

If you can Paint Me A Birmingham

He looked at me with knowing eyes

Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side

Picked up a brush and said to me

Son just where in this picture would you like to be

And 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 planned

A little house on the edge of town

Porch going' all the way around

Put her there in the front yard swing

Cotton dress make it early spring

For a while she'll be mine again

If you can Paint Me A Birmingham

Paint Me A Birmingham

Make it look just the way I planned

A little house on the edge of town

Porch going' all the way around
