HE WAS SITTING THERE
HIS BRUSH IN HAND
PAINTIN' 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
WELL COULD YOU
PAINT ME
A BIRMINGHAM
MAKE IT LOOK
JUST THE WAY
I PLANNED
A LITTLE HOUSE
ON THE EDGE OF TOWN
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
TOOK A CANVAS
FROM A BAG THERE
BY HIS SIDE
HE TOOK THE BRUSH
AND SAID TO ME
SON
JUST WHERE IN
THIS PICTURE
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE
I SAID
IF THERE'S ANY WAY
YOU CAN
COULD YOU PAINT ME
BACK INTO HER ARMS
AGAIN
PAINT ME
A BIRMINGHAM
MAKE IT LOOK
JUST THE WAY
I PLANNED
A LITTLE HOUSE
ON THE EDGE OF TOWN
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
4 BAR
BREAK
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
