Boulder To Birmingham

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't want to hear a love song

I got on this airplane just to fly

And I know there's life below me

But all you can show me

Is the prairie and the sky

I don't want to hear a sad story

Full of heartbreak and desire

The last time I felt like this

I was in the wilderness

And the canyon was on fire

And I stood on the mountain

In the night and I watched it burn

Watched it burn

I watched it burn

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham

I would hold my life in his saving grace

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham

If I thought I could see your

See your face

Well you really got me this time

And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive

I've come to listen for the sound

Trucks as they rode down out on 95

And pretend that it's the ocean

Coming down to wash me clean

Wash me clean

Baby, do you know what I mean?

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham

I would hold my life in his saving grace

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham

If I thought I could see your

See your face

I would rock my soul (Rock my soul)

In the bosom of Abraham (in the bosom of Abraham)

I would hold my life (Hold my life)

In his saving grace (Saving grace)

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham

If I thought I could see your

See your face

If I thought I could see your

See your face
