Lyrics - Postmarked Birmingham by Blackhawk

I recognize the writingon the plain white envelope
I've wondered where she'd wind upbefore she called or wrote
The answer's in a circlethrough 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
Seattlewith her mom and dad up there
She never mentioned
Alabamaso
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 ittwo hundred miles south
Did she settle there, did she mail this noteon her way out of town
What chance is there to find her when theonly clue
I have is
Postmarked
Birmingham
Chorus
Every day down by the mailboxstandin' on the curb
I check
The upper right hand cornerof every piece of mail
I get
Hopin' there's that certain circle
Through the word '
Love' on a stamp
Postmarked
Birmingham
