Boulder To Birmingham - Lyrics by Emmylou Harris


Lyrics
I don't want to 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 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 watched it burn -I 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 - I could 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
Of the trucks as they move down out on ninety five -
And pretend that it's the ocean
Coming down to wash me clean
Babyoh you know what I mean
You know what I mean.I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham...
