Paint Me A Birmingham lyrics

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
