Blackhawk - Postmarked Birmingham Lyrics
(don sampson/phil vassar)I recognize the writing on the plain white envelopeIve wondered where shed wind up before she called or wroteThe answers in a circle through the word love on a stampPostmarked birminghamId have bet on californiacause her sisters in bel aireOr I could seattle with her mom and dad up thereShe never mentioned alabama so I dont understandPostmarked birminghamA two-page letter written onRamada stationaryDate aprill twenty-twoShe asked me not to hate her,Said shes sorryBut leavins what she felt she had to doSo the day she left she made it two hundred miles southDid she settle there, did she mail this noteOn her way out of townWhat chance is there to find here when theOnly clue I have isPostmarked birminghamA two-page letter written onRamada stationaryDate aprill twenty-twoShe asked me not to hate her,Said shes sorryBut leavins what she felt she had to doEvery day down by the mailboxStandin on the curb I checkThe upper right hand cornerOf every piece of mail I getHopin theres that certain circleThrough the word love on a stampPostmarked birmingham
