Lyrics:

Yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah

Virgil Spencer's got a 19-inch Hitachi
And many demons lingering
Friday night, he pulled a gun to change the channel
Something that he picked up from the king
And his wife remembers well the man she knew
Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue
She's wasted years
No time for tears

'Cause there's another chance
And a someday soon
Shining like the Alabama moon
She's looking for the promised land
'Cause out beyond the lights of Birmingham

Oh well it's, it's 3 A.M. and he's passed out on the sofa
A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor
And she's packed her bags, she slips the keys out of his pocket (Hey)
She's careful not to slam the door
And as she drives she rubs her rosary
She ain't never been so all alone, never felt so free
She got miles to go
Blind faith and hope

'Cause there's another chance
And a someday soon
Shining like the Alabama moon
She's looking for the promised land
'Cause out beyond the lights of, Oooh yeah, Birmingham

Hey, yeah
Oh Oooh-oo-oo, yeah

As the rain falls down upon the interstate
Any doubts she had are all but washed away
She takes one long look back
At Birmingham

'Cause there's another chance
And a someday soon, alright
Shining like the Alabama moon
She's looking for the promised land
'Cause out beyond the lights of Birmingham

'Cause there's another chance
And a someday soon
Shining like the Ala-Shining like moon
She's looking for, she's looking for the promised land (hey)
Out beyond the lights of (yeah, yeah) Birmingham

You gotta keep on drivin' baby
You gotta keep on drivin' baby, alright
Keep on drivin' baby
You gotta keep on drivin' baby

Just WOW! Don't you dare disappear again! 🤩

This song is one of my all-time favorites. She's a very underrated artist. Should have been a much bigger star

[TheUnsignedbands]

Watch and learn young vocalists. No auto tune here. This is raw talent from one of the most underrated female vocalists out there. Amanda’s voice get better with age . She has taken care and mastered this instrument.

[PaulaJoW]

My favourite female singer, hands-down. SO glad she's back!!!

[tanyabrayer]

Amanda doesn't just sing, she IS the song. 💛💛💛 Welcome back, Ms. Marshall. We've missed you!!!

[isaackovitz]

I don't understand why Amanda Marshall didn't rise to superstardom. She is, in my opinion, one of the greatest artists from the past generation. I don't think she ever put out a bad song.

[christopherdarcic]

Still as new and fresh as i saw her live 29yrs ago!🎉❤💯🫶

[RafikMankariosDrumStudio]

So authentic, so real, so human, so musical, so beautiful!♥️

[keithhallgren]

This is just incredible... your voice is an incredible instrument.

[RosePetal]

Amanda, your voice has aged like a fine wine…better than ever, and your guitarist/accompanist is phenomenal 😍🎼🎶🎶🎶🎤🎸

I’m from a little country town called Grafton in NSW Australia. This ladies music has been a constant in my life. I walked past a music shop and they had Dark Horse playing - the rest is history man. Amanda is the greatest female singer I have ever heard and trust me I listen to a lot of music. So stoked she’s back … let’s do this Amanda Marshall :-)

[tommypayne]

Very few artists voices get better with time. Simply wow!

[vancouverluxuryhomes-carlo]

Absolutely one of the best underrated female vocalists....her concerts are truly fantastic vocally wonderful to see live !!!

[Ronton]

So awesome. So good to hear this song again and an Acoustic Live version of it. Memories from the fall of 1996.

[briedewayne]

I love this song.. thrilled you're touring. Huge fan since the beginning.❤

[jengolf]

Kripes sake! This is so good. I've listened to this amazing performance nearly daily since the Vancouver show, July 3/23. What talent, so much musical ability in here. Thank you, Amanda Marshall, for creating, touring, and sharing all of your energy. Fantastic guitar playing here too. Great rhythm and touch. 💥🎉🎶👏🎉

[johncruikshank]

One special artist, who's even better

[susansharp]

OMG....what a voice!! Canadian singer singing about an American city!!!

[kgw]

Where in the hell did you go? Your voice has always made my soul soar! Everyone has a story & you tell mine. Welcome back my friend. Carry on from Ottawa 🇨🇦

[MichaPawelec-tzub]

I'm so glad I don't think Amands is underrated. I love her music and I don't care what other people click on youtube.

And by the way this is my favorite Amanda's song, so thanks.
