Boulder to Birmingham
Lyrics
I don't want to hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
I know there's life below me
But all that you can show me
Is the prairie and the sky
I don't want to hear a sad story
Filled with heartbreak and desire
The last time I felt like this
I was in the wilderness
And the canyon was on fire
And I stood on the mountain
In the night and I watched it burn
I watched it burn, God, I watched it burn
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, just see your face
(Well, you really got me this time)
You got me this time
And the hardest part
Is knowing that I survived
And I've come to listen for the sounds
Of the trucks as they move down
Out on Highway 95
And pretending it's the ocean
Coming down to wash me clear
To wash me clear, if you know what I mean
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, just see your face
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, just see your face
