Paint me a dream
Paint me a Birmingham
Tracy Lawrence
He was sittin� 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 mornin� sky
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
He said for twenty dollars, I�ll paint you anything.
Chorus:
Well could you Paint Me A Birmingham
Make it look just the way I planned
A little house on the edge of town
Porch goin� all the way around
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress make it, early spring
For awhile 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 in this picture, where 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 goin� all the way around
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress make it, early spring
For awhile she�ll be, mine again
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham.
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress make it, early spring
For awhile she�ll be, mine again
If you can Paint Me A, Birmingham.

this song just took my back to my dreams.. and where I started...
way back... and yes I am on my way to paint myself my own reality......some blurred lines.. some pastels.. some bright colors.. some emotions.. some falls.. some wins.. some loss... and my painting is yet to be over...
