"Ok, a song written by Emmylou Harris
Called 'Boulder to Birmingham'"

I don't want to hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
And I know there's life below me
But all that you can show me 
Is the prairie and the sky

I don't want to hear your sad stories
About heartache and desire
The last time I felt like this
I was in the wilderness
And the canyon was on fire
And I stood on the mountain, in the night
And I watched it burn, I watched it burn
I watched it burn

And I'd rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I'd hold my life in his saving grace 
I'd walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 
If I thought I could see, I could see your face

Well, you really got me this time 
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive 
I've come to listen for the sound 
Of the trucks as they rolled on
Out on Highway 95
Pretending it's the ocean 
Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean 
You know what I mean

And I'd rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I'd hold my life in his saving grace 
I'd walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 
If I thought I could see, I could see your face

If I thought I could see, I could see your face
