birmingham
amanda marshall
virgil spencer's got a 19 inch hitachi
and many demons lingering
he pulled a gun to change the channel
something that he picked up from the king
his wife remembers well the man she knew
seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue
'cause there's another chance
shining like the alabama moon
she's looking for the promised land
out beyond the lights of birmingham
it's 3 am and virgil's passed out on the sofa
a fifth of jim beam on the floor
she slips the keys out of his pocket
she's careful not to slam the door
and as she drives she rubs her rosary
she's never been so all alone
'cause there's another chance
shining like the alabama moon
she's looking for the promised land
out beyond the lights of birmingham
as the rain falls down upon the interstate
any doubts she had are all but washed away
'cause there's another chance
shining like the alabama moon
she's looking for the promised land
out beyond the lights of birmingham
shining like the alabama moon
she's looking for the promised land
