Lyrics:

Recognize the writing on the plain white envelope

I've wondered where she'd wind up before she called or wrote

Answer's in a circle through the word love on a stamp

Postmarked Birmingham

I'd bet on California 'cause her sister's in Bel Aire

Or I could see Seattle with her mom and dad up there

She never mentioned Alabama so I don't understand

Postmarked Birmingham

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 it two hundred miles south

Did she settle there, did she mail this note on her way out of town?

What chance is there to find her when the only clue I have

Is postmarked Birmingham

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

Every day down by the mailbox standin' on the curb, I check

The upper right hand corner every piece of mail I get

Hopin' there's that certain circle through the word 'love' on a stamp

Postmarked Birmingham, postmarked Birmingham

..
