Birmingham Lyrics - Singles - Marshall Amanda

Virgil Spencer's got a ninteen-inch Hitachi 

And many demons lingering 

Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel 

Something that he picked up from the King 

His wife remembers well the man she knew 

Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue 

She's wasted years 

No time for tears 

'Cause there's another chance and a someday soon 

Shining like the Alabama moon 

She's looking for her promised land 

Out beyond the lights of Birmingham 

It's three a.m. and Virgil's passed out on the sofa 

A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor 

She's packed a bag she slips the keys out of his pocket 

She's careful not to slam the door 

And as she drives she rubs her rosary 

She's never been so all alone she's never felt so free 

She's got miles to go 

Blind faith and hope 

'Cause there's another chance and a someday soon 

Shining like the Alabama moon 

She's looking for her promised land 

Out beyond the lights of Birmingham 

As the rain falls down upon the interstate 

Any doubts she had are all but washed away 

One long look back 

At Birmingham 

'Cause there's another chance and a someday soon 

Shining like the Alabama moon 

She's looking for her promised land 

Out beyond the lights of Birmingham
