In the song "Paint Me a Burmingham", what does that mean?

The song represents a preservation of a memory. All of the imagery in the song, for example, " a little house on the edge of town, a little front porch going all the way around..." focus on a utopian idea of what the man in the song, or who wrote the song would like to have in his life. What my guess is, is that Birmingham was a place of memory for teh character in the song, so that is exactly what he wants. In essence, the song focuses on a good memory to preserve. Hope that helped! Source: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/62247/top_ten_songs_by_tracy_lawrence.html?page=2 Note: Some of the answer above is totally opinion... Oct 07 07, 12:20 PM

The narrator describes an encounter on the beach with an artist who is painting ocean scenes. The singer then asks the painter to paint a picture of the plans that the man and his lost lover had made: "Paint me a Birmingham / Make it look just the way I planned / A little house on the edge of town / Porch goin' all the way around / Put her there in the front yard swing / Cotton dress, make it early spring / For awhile she'll be mine again / If you can paint me a Birmingham." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_Me_a_Birmingham Oct 07 07, 12:20 PM
