He looked at me with knowing eyes....
And took a canvas from a bag there by his side...
and took a brush and said to me...
son just where in this picture would you like to be...
and I said if there's anywhere you can...
paint me back into her arms again...
would you paint me a birmingham...
make it look just the way I planned...
a little house on the edge of town...
porch going all the way around...
put there in the front yard swing...
cotton dress make it early spring...
for a while she mine again.....
if you could paint me a birmingham...
