They all know where I've been
But they sure as hell don't know where I'm going
I've been paying for sins
In the back row of a church off Forest Chapel
Maybe I've lost faith
But I'm closer to God now
And I don't need their grace
I just need out of this town
Cuz I'm not running
Cuz I'm not scared anymore
Can we go back to Birmingham
Back where I don't feel ashamed
To the people that understand the way that I am made
In Birmingham
It's written in their eyes
When they look they see right through me
So I'm cutting all my ties
With a town that hardly knew me
Maybe I found faith
In a city I love now
Where I don't need their grace
Cuz I know where my heart is found
Cuz I'm not running
Cuz I'm not scared anymore
Can we go back to Birmingham
Back where I don't feel ashamed
To the people that understand the way that I am made
In Birmingham
Cuz I'm not running to anywhere but home now
Cuz I'm not wandering, cuz I know where I belong
Cuz I'm not running to anywhere but home now
Cuz I' not wandering, cuz I know where I belong
I know where I've been
And I sure as hell know where I'm going
Can we go back to Birmingham
Back where I don't feel ashamed
To the people that understand the way that I am made
Can we go back to Birmingham
Back where I don't feel ashamed
To the people that understand the way that I made
In Birmingham
