Paint me a Birmingham Intro- He was sitting there his brush in hand Painting waves as they dance 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 plan A little house on the edge of town Porch goin' all the way around Put her there on the front yard swing Cotton dress, make it early spring For awhile she'll be mine again If you could paint me a Birmingham He looked at me, with knowing 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 anyway you can Could you paint me back into her arms again? Could you paint me a Birmingham? Make it look just the way I plan A little house on the edge of town Porch goin' all the way around Put her there on the front yard swing Cotton dress, make it early spring For awhile she'll be mine again If you could paint me a Birmingham
