Mandi Mapes Birmingham song lyrics

There is a popsicle shop

Down in Homewood I swear

I'll never forget

The man there who owned it I

Met him a long time ago

When I was a kid

He said "Child you've got something I

Want to see blossom.

Would you care to live in my town?"

I was almost eighteen said goodbye New Orleans

As I packed up for uncharted land

They call Birmingham

Birmingham

I met preachers and pirates and

Gypsies and firepoints I've felt their pain and their joy

I saw true love unveiled

On the old mountain trails where they find Sanford boy

Who said "Darling I love you God has been so good to let me be your man"

As he got on one knee smiling cheek to sheek

as he put a ring on my hand

In Birmingham

Birmingham

Birmingham

Birmingham

Now I am older, my bags packed again

To sail new seas in this life

But no matter where I go no city's got nothing on that Alabama sky

Oh and I will remember those beautiful people

And that magic city shine from afar

And I'll take it all with me cause it will forever be a part of who I am

Birmingham

Birmingham

Birmingham

Birmingham
