Birmingham
There is a popsicle shop
Down in Homewood I swear
I'll never forget
The man there who owned it I
Met him a long time ago
When I was a kid
He said "Child you've got something I
Want to see blossom.
Would you care to live in my town?"
I was almost eighteen said goodbye New Orleans
As I packed up for uncharted land
They call Birmingham
Birmingham
I met preachers and pirates and
Gypsies and firepoints I've felt their pain and their joy
I saw true love unveiled
On the old mountain trails where they find Sanford boy
Who said "Darling I love you God has been so good to let me be your man"
As he got on one knee smiling cheek to sheek
as he put a ring on my hand
In Birmingham
Birmingham
Birmingham
Birmingham
Now I am older, my bags packed again
To sail new seas in this life
But no matter where I go no city's got nothing on that Alabama sky
Oh and I will remember those beautiful people
And that magic city shine from afar
And I'll take it all with me cause it will forever be a part of who I am
