Boulder to Birmingham by Emmylou Harris

I don't want to hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
And I know there's life below me
But all that you can show me
Is the prairie and the sky

And I don't want to hear a sad story full of heartbreak and desire
The last time I felt like this it was in the wilderness
And the canyon was on fire, and I stood on the mountain
In the night and I 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 a 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 have 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, to wash me clean
Baby do you know what I mean

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
If I thought I could see, I could see your face
