Amanda Marshall - Birmingham


Virgil Spencer's got a 19 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 turned black and blue 
She's wasted years, no time for tears 

Cause there's another chance, and someday soon 
Shining like the Alabama moon 
She's looking for her promised land 
Out beyond the lights of Birmingham 

It's 3 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, and 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 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 someday soon 
Shining like the Alabama moon 
She's looking for her promised land 
Out beyond the lights of Birmingham
