Tracy Lawrence - Paint Me a Birmingham

    He was sittin’ there, his brush in hand
    Paintin’ waves as they danced, upon the sand
    With every stroke, he brought to life
    The deep blue of the ocean, against the mornin’ sky
    I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
    He said for twenty dollars, I’ll paint you anything.

    Well 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 awhile 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
    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 awhile she’ll be, mine again
    If you can Paint Me A Birmingham.
