Blackhawk Postmarked Birmingham
I recognize the writing on the plain white envelope I've wondered where she'd wind up before she called or wrote The answer's in a circle through 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 Chorus A two-page letter written on Ramada stationary Dated April twenty-two She asked me not to hate her, said she's sorry But leavin's 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 Chorus Every day down by the mailbox standin' on the curb I check The upper right hand corner of every piece of mail I get Hopin' there's that certain circle Through the word 'Love' on a stamp Postmarked Birmingham
