Melodie Crittenden - Birmingham lyrics

rate me

(David Tyson – Gerald O’Brien – Dean McTaggart)

Virgil Spencer’s got a nineteen-inch Hitachi

and many demons lingering.

Friday night he pulled a gun to change channel

something that he picked up from the king.

His remembers well the man she knew.

Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue.

She’s wasted years.

No time for tears.

‘Cause there’s another chance and someday soon

shining like the Alabama moon.

She’s looking for her promised land

out beyond the lights of – Birmingham.

It’s three a.m. and Virgil’s passed out of the sofa,

a fifth of Jim Beam on the floor.

She’s packed a bag, she slips the keys out of his pocket.

She’s careful not to slam the door.

And as she drive she rubs her rosary.

She’s never been so all alone,

she’s never been so free.

She’s got miles to go

blind faith and hope.

‘Cause there’s another chance and someday soon

shining like the Alabama moon.

She’s looking for her promised land

out beyond the lights of – Birmingham.

As the rain falls down upon the interstate

Any doubts she had are all but washed away.

One long look back – at Birmingham.

‘Cause there’s another chance and someday soon

shining like the Alabama moon.

She’s looking for her promised land

out beyond the lights of –Birmingham.

Yes, there’s another chance and someday soon

shining like the Alabama moon.

She’s looking for her promised land

out beyond the lights of –Birmingham.

Oh-yeah! O-oo-oh.

She’s looking for her promised land

out beyond the lights of –Birmingham.

Birmingham...
