DOLLY PARTON - Boulder to Birmingham lyrics

rate me

(Bill Danoff - Emmylou Harris)

I don't want to hear a love song I got on this airplane just to fly

I know there's life below me

But all that you can show me is the prairie and the sky

I don't want to hear a sad story filled with heartbreak and desire

The last time I felt like this I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire

And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn

I watched it burn God I watched it burn.

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham

I would hold my life in his saving grace

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham

If I thought I could see just see your face.

--- Instrumental ---

(Well, you really got me this time) you got me this time

And the hardest part is knowing that I survived

And I've come to listen for the sounds of the trucks

As they move down on Highway 95

And pretending it's the ocean coming down to wash me clean

To wash me clean if you know what I mean.

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham

I would hold my life in his saving grace

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham

If I thought I could see just see your face...
