Paint Me A Birmingham Lyrics - Lawrence Tracy

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, Ill 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 goin all the way around 

Put her there in the front yard swing 

Cotton dress make it, early spring 

For a while shell 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 theres 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 a while shell 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 goin' all the way around 

Put her there in the front yard swing 

Cotton dress make it, early spring 

For a while shell be, mine again 

If you can Paint Me A Birmingham 

Oh Paint Me A Birmingham
