paint me a birmingham

Singer:tracy lawrence

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

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

oh paint me a birmingham
