Birmingham Songtext
von Amanda Marshall

Virgil Spencer′s got a nineteen inch Hitachi
And many demons lingering
Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel
Something that he picked up from the King
His wife remembers well the man she knew
It seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue
She's wasted years
No time for tears

There′s another chance and a 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 on the sofa
A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor
She′s packed her bags, she slips the keys out of his pocket
She's careful not to slam the door
And as she drives she rubs her rosary
She′s never been so all alone, she's never felt so free
She′s got miles to go
Blind faith and hope

There's another chance and a 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
She takes one long look back
At Birmingham

There's another chance and a someday soon
Shining like the Alabama moon
She's looking for her promised land
Out beyond the lights of Birmingham
