Emmylou Harris
Boulder to Birmingham
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
And I know there's life below me
But all that you could show me was the prairie in the sky
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 wasn't far
I stood on the mountain
In the night and I watched it burn
Watched it burn, I watched it burn

[Chorus]
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, I could see your face

[Verse 2]
Well, you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive
I've come to listen for the sounds
Of the trucks as they move down out of 95
And pretend that it's the ocean
Coming down to wash me clean
To wash me clean
Baby, don't you know what I mean?
[Chorus]
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, I could see your face

[Outro]
I would walk 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
