ryan adams - birmingham (2025) lyrics

[verse 1]
i wish i was a painter, charcoal and buffalo
or a presidential motorcade where the cops just come and go
so return me to the station, a box and empty bag
fall asleep watching the twister
in some broken down hotel in birmingham

[verse 2]
’cause i wish i was a calendar, numbers and good names
variating slightly but only the pictures ever change
mark me “return to sender”, i’m like a letter without a stamp
wasn’t written to be read and i am sleepless in this bed
in some broken down hotel in birmingham

[verse 3]
i held hеr hand in old savannah, marigold print on her dress
her hair was combеd and parted like a beautiful princess
i didn’t see you at the altar, way back then you were so drunk
you were washed up on some hooker’s bed behind a sh+tty restaurant
bought her pretty clothes and diamonds
like i was born to be her man
we were more than commentary or some cheap headline grab
so when the wind blows through your window
’cause the storm don’t give a d+mn
pray the window doesn’t break across the wrist of your writing hand
on a stationary wet with tears of the peoples backs that you stab
while you’re hiding like a robber with no one’s purse left to grab
remember me standing there holding out my hand
in a broken down hotel in birmingham
in a broken down hotel in birmingham
