Postmarked Birmingham Lyrics - Singles - Blackhawk

Recognize the writing on the plain white envelope 

I've wondered where she'd wind up before she called or wrote 

Answer's in a circle through the word love on a stamp 

Postmarked Birmingham 

I'd bet on California 'cause her sister's in Bel Aire 

Or I could see Seattle with her mom and dad up there 

She never mentioned Alabama so I don't understand 

Postmarked Birmingham 

A two-page letter written on Ramada stationary dated April twenty-two 

She asked me not to hate her said she's sorry 

But leavin's what she felt she had to do 

So the day she left, she made it two hundred miles south 

Did she settle there, did she mail this note on her way out of town? 

What chance is there to find her when the only clue I have 

Is postmarked Birmingham 

A two-page letter written on Ramada stationary dated April twenty-two 

She asked me not to hate her said she's sorry 

But leavin's what she felt she had to do 

Every day down by the mailbox standin' on the curb, I check 

The upper right hand corner every piece of mail I get 

Hopin' there's that certain circle through the word 'love' on a stamp 

Postmarked Birmingham, postmarked Birmingham
