Over deze songtekst:
Een 'Birmingham' is een stijlvol huis in Alabama.
Jennifer Usher schreef: "It refers to the country-western song "Paint Me a Birmingham," which is about a man requesting an artist who he sees painting ocean scenes to paint a picture, which he calls "a Birmingham," of plans he, and his lost love, had made. He describes it as showing a house with a porch on the edge of town, in the springtime, with a woman wearing a white cotton dress sitting in a swing in the front yard. When the artist asks him where he wants to be in the painting, the man asks him to paint him back into her heart."
He was sitting' there, his brush in hand Painting' waves as they danced, upon the sand With every stroke, he brought to life The deep blue of the ocean, against the morning' sky I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes He said for twenty dollars, I'll paint you anything Could you paint me a Birmingham? Make it look just the way I planned A little house on the edge of town A porch going' all the way around Put her there in the front yard swing Cotton dress make it, early spring For a while she'll be mine again If you can paint me a Birmingham He looked at me with knowing eyes Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side Picked up a brush, and said to me "Son just where in this picture would you like to be?" And I said if there's any way you can Could you paint me back into her arms again? Could you paint me a Birmingham? Make it look just the way I planned A little house on the edge of town A porch going' all the way around Put her there in the front yard swing Cotton dress make it, early spring For a while she'll be mine again If you can paint me a Birmingham Paint me a Birmingham Make it look just the way I planned A little house on the edge of town A porch going' all the way around Put her there in the front yard swing Cotton dress make it, early spring For a while she'll be mine again If you can paint me a Birmingham Oh paint me a Birmingham
