Emmylou Harris
Boulder to Birmingham
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
I know there's life below me
But all that you can show me
Is a prairie and the sky

[Verse 2]
And I don't wanna 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

[Pre-Chorus]
And I stood on the mountain
In the night and I watched it burn
I watched it burn
And I watched it burn

[Chorus]
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his savin' grace
I would walk on all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, I could see your face
[Verse 3]
Well, you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowin' I'll survive
I've come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down
Down on 95

[Pre-Chorus]
And pretend that it's the ocean
Comin' down to wash me clean
To wash me clean
Baby, you know what I mean

[Chorus]
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his savin' grace
I would walk on all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, I could see your face
If I thought I could see, I could see your face
