Birmingham |
| Economics shut the furnace down |
| Bull Connor hosing children down |
| George Wallace stared them Yankee’s down |
| In Birmingham |
| Take a left on the interstate |
| In the middle of this sultry state |
| I can’t wait to see your face |
| In Birmingham |
| «I don’t think it was worth it» |
| The last thing Stanley said to me |
| Twenty four years then a bullet in the chest and |
| I still see him in my sleep |
| Fifteen dollars in the purse He could not save |
| Her family didn’t buy a stone to mark his grave |
| «Give me a call, if you need a place to stay in Birmingham» |
| Birmingham |
| Most of my family came from Birmingham |
| I can feel their presence on the street |
| Vulcan Park has seen it’s share of troubled times |
| But the city won’t admit defeat |
| Magic City’s magic getting stronger |
| Dynamite Hill ain’t on fire any longer |
| No man should ever have to feel He don’t belong in Birmingham |
| Birmingham |
