He was sitting there, his brush in hand
paining waves as they danced upon the sand
with every stroke-he brought to life
the deeper 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 going all the way around
put her there on 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
He looked at me with knowing eyes
and took a canvas from the 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 plan
a little house on the edge of town
porch going all the way around
put her there on 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
Paint me a birmingham
make it look just the way i plan
a little house on the edge of town
porch going all the way around
put her there on 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
O paint me a birmingham
