Paint Me A Birmingham
Tracy Lawrence
He was sittin 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 a 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 goin 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 agaain,
If you could paint me a Birmingham
He looked at me with glowing eyes
And 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 goin all the way around
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress, make it early spring
For a while sheâll be mine again,
If you could 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 goin 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 could paint me a Birmingham
If you could paint me a Birmingham
