Birmingham
Economics shut the furnace down
Bull Connor hosing children down
George Wallace face them Yankee's down
In Birmingham
Take a left down the interstate
In the middle of this sultry state
I can't wait to see your face
Birmingham
"I don't think it was worth it"
The last thing Stanley said to me
24 years 'til a bullet in the chest and
I still see him in my sleep
15 dollars in the purse he could not save
Her family didn't buy a stone to mark his grave
"Call me up, if you need a place to stay in Birmingham"
Birmingham
Most of my family came from Birmingham
I can feel their presence on the street
Vulcan Park seen its share of troubled times
But the city won't admit defeat
Magic City's magic getting stronger
Dynamite Hill ain't on fire any longer
No man should ever have to feel
He don't belong in Birmingham
Birmingham
Birmingham
Birmingham
Bull Connor hosing children down
George Wallace face them Yankee's down
In Birmingham
Take a left down the interstate
In the middle of this sultry state
I can't wait to see your face
Birmingham
"I don't think it was worth it"
The last thing Stanley said to me
24 years 'til a bullet in the chest and
I still see him in my sleep
15 dollars in the purse he could not save
Her family didn't buy a stone to mark his grave
"Call me up, if you need a place to stay in Birmingham"
Birmingham
Most of my family came from Birmingham
I can feel their presence on the street
Vulcan Park seen its share of troubled times
But the city won't admit defeat
Magic City's magic getting stronger
Dynamite Hill ain't on fire any longer
No man should ever have to feel
He don't belong in Birmingham
Birmingham
Birmingham
Birmingham
