Postmarked Birmingham Lyrics

I recognized the writing on the plain white envelope.
I wondered where she'd wind up before she called or wrote.
The answer's in a circle, with the word 'love' on a stamp
postmarked Birmingham.

I'd have bet on California, 'cause her sister's in Bel Aire.
Or I could see Seattle, with her mom and dad up there.
She never mentioned Alabama, so I don't understand
postmarked Birmingham.

A two page letter written on Ramada stationary,
dated April twenty-two.
She asks me not to hate her, says she's sorry
but leavings what she felt she had to do.

So the day she left she made it two hundred miles south.
Did she settle there? Did she mail this note on her way out of town?
What chance is there to find her, when the only clue I have
is postmarked Birmingham?

A two page letter written on Ramada stationary,
dated April twenty-two.
She asks me not to hate her, says she's sorry
but leavings what she felt she had to do.

A two page letter written on Ramada stationary,
dated April twenty-two.
She asks me not to hate her, says she's sorry
but leavings what she felt she had to do.


Now every day down by the mailbox, standing on the curb I check
the upper right-hand corner of every piece of mail I get
hopin' there's that certain circle with the word 'love' on a stamp
postmarked Birmingham.
Postmarked Birmingham.

Blackhawk is an American country music group founded in Nashville in 1992 by lead vocalist/guitarist Henry Paul (born August 25, 1949; formerly of The Outlaws), vocalist/guitarist Van Stephenson (born 4 November 1953; died 8 April 2001), and keyboardist/vocalist Dave Robbins (born May 26, 1959); Stephenson was succeeded by Randy Threet and then by Anthony Crawford (bandmember for both Neil Young and Steve Winwood) .

One of the more successful country music groups of the 1990s, their hits have included Every Once in a While, Days of America, and Goodbye Says It All.

The original lineup for the band throughout the 1990s was Paul, Robbins, and guitarist/vocalist Van Stephenson, who died of skin cancer in April, 2001. He was replaced by Randy Threet, the band's bass player, until 2003, when Anthony Crawford signed on.

From early 2008 until he re-joined in 2010, Robbins left the group to resume his songwriting career, and Threet re-joined. Since then, BlackHawk's backing band has been subsumed into the main group, which comprises Paul (lead vocals, guitar, mandolin), Randall (acoustic guitar, background vocals), Threet (bass guitar, background vocals), Chris Anderson (lead guitar, background vocals), Dave Robbins (keyboards, background vocals), and Monte Yoho (drums, percussion).

Current Total Nonstop Action Wrestling musician Dale Oliver was also once a part of Blackhawk. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
