[00:00.00]Birmingham - Shovels & Rope
[00:14.36]Delta mama and a Nickajack man
[00:19.60]Raised their Cumberland daughter in a Tennessee band
[00:25.96]Played Springwater at Station Inn
[00:28.77]Couldn't play fast couldn't fit in
[00:33.58]Caught a '66 Dodge in Caroline
[00:39.76]Got her education on her mama's dime
[00:45.00]She was singing in a bar called Comatose
[00:48.12]Halfway rusted on the salty coast
[00:52.55]Rock of Ages cleave for me
[00:58.04]Let me hide myself in Thee
[01:04.15]Buried in the sand
[01:08.46]Five hundred miles from Birmingham
[01:19.25]Rock 'em out cowboy in a rock and roll band
[01:22.50]Plugged his amplifier in all across the land
[01:27.62]Athens Georgia on a friday night
[01:30.17]Saw that little girl she could sing alright
[01:35.29]Spent five years going from town to town
[01:38.35]Waiting on that little girl to come around
[01:43.65]Caught in the arms of New York City
[01:46.34]To lose that gal seemed terrible pity
[01:50.77]Rock of Ages cleave for me
[01:56.20]Let my heart forget a beat
[02:02.19]Why do you demand
[02:07.37]Calling me from Birmingham
[02:17.91]Pulled her covered wagon off the BQE
[02:20.35]Said this'll be the last you'll ever see of me
[02:25.40]Well the cowboy laughed said I know it's not true
[02:28.32]Cause there's nothing I could do to get loose from you
[02:37.00]Made a little money playing in the bars
[02:39.19]With two beat up drums and two old guitars
[02:44.62]From the Crescent City to the Great Salt Lake
[02:47.31]It ain't what you got it's what you make
[03:11.60]When the road got rough and the wheels all broke
[03:18.02]Couldn't take more then we could tow
[03:24.83]Making something out of nothing with a scratcher and our hope
[03:28.26]With two old guitars like a shovel and a rope
[03:32.41]Rock of Ages cleave for me
[03:37.83]Let me hide myself in Thee
[03:44.20]Now I understand
[03:48.57]On better terms since Birmingham
