Boulder to Birmingham Lyrics
[00:05.51] I don't want to hear a love song
[00:08.95] I got on this airplane just to fly
[00:14.37] And I know there's life below me
[00:18.55] But all you can show me
[00:21.55] Is the prairie and the sky
[00:28.35] And I don't want to hear a sad story
[00:32.95] Full of heartbreak and desire
[00:39.09] The last time I felt like this
[00:42.54] I was in the wilderness
[00:45.56] And the canyon was on fire
[00:50.46] And I stood on the mountain
[00:56.47] In the night and I watched it burn
[01:00.91] I watched it burn, I watched it burn
[01:08.42] I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
[01:13.24] I would hold my life in his saving grace
[01:19.82] I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
[01:26.04] If I thought I could see, I could see your face
[01:35.16] Well you really got me this time
[01:40.95] And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive
[01:45.33] And I come to listen for the sound
[01:49.36] Of the trucks as they move down
[01:52.15] Out on 95
[01:56.94] And pretend that it's the ocean
[02:02.74] Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
[02:09.84] Baby, do you know what I mean?
[02:13.55] I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
[02:19.42] I would hold my life in his saving grace
[02:25.25] I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
[02:31.76] If I thought I could see, I could see your face
[02:56.65] If I thought I could see, I could see your face
[03:01.05]
[00:08.95] I got on this airplane just to fly
[00:14.37] And I know there's life below me
[00:18.55] But all you can show me
[00:21.55] Is the prairie and the sky
[00:28.35] And I don't want to hear a sad story
[00:32.95] Full of heartbreak and desire
[00:39.09] The last time I felt like this
[00:42.54] I was in the wilderness
[00:45.56] And the canyon was on fire
[00:50.46] And I stood on the mountain
[00:56.47] In the night and I watched it burn
[01:00.91] I watched it burn, I watched it burn
[01:08.42] I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
[01:13.24] I would hold my life in his saving grace
[01:19.82] I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
[01:26.04] If I thought I could see, I could see your face
[01:35.16] Well you really got me this time
[01:40.95] And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive
[01:45.33] And I come to listen for the sound
[01:49.36] Of the trucks as they move down

[02:56.65] If I thought I could see, I could see your face
