You're right.

My favorite Tracy Lawrence song- if the good die young

I saw Tracy open for Montgomery Gentry at BB Kings in NYC years ago. He's a wonderful vocalist.

Love this song, and many others that he sings.

[@JT-hg3ly]

Tracy has always been known as a great songwriter and this is the proof. One of my all-time favorites for sure!

[@lutherl2350]

He sang the song and was great, but he didn't write the song.

[@JT-hg3ly]

@@lutherl2350thanks for the info. I know he has written several of his songs, as well as several for other artists. I just assumed he had written this one. Either way, it is an amazing song.

I still remember the first time I heard this. His voice is so soulful. It brings the heartbreak to life. Tracey is an amazing vocalist. Love him.

[@jennel802009]

"Time Marches On," is one of his best songs. Truer words were never spoken in a song for sure!

[@SteveSwags]

Agreed! I tried to get it voted as our Class Song in 1997, but it came in 3rd in the voting.

[@patriciacope6533]

I met him. He was very nice

[@susieq1565]

Sometimes it only takes one song to change your view, if it hits you where you live.

[@notabot3375]

A Birmingham is a type of house.

[@tbirdfan93]

When Tracey released this song I remember it blew everything off the radio all the new hot country at the time got blew out of the water

[@scottandal]

To me, that’s his best song.

[@RockN2Country]

@scottandal Right? Was one of my highest ratings ever. Mind. Blown.

[@randall-king]

Always loved Tracy’s music. He had the kind of albums where I’d play the whole thing through and not just listen to the singles. My brother and I used to sing his songs on road trips. Other good ones from him are “Lessons Learned”, “If the World Had a Front Porch”, and “Alibis”.

[@middleage_maniac1692]

All great songs.

[@BilbusWilbury]

@@middleage_maniac1692 Alibis is one I forgot about but man that's a great song. I'm gonna have to look it up again right now.

[@thomassuchy4596]

I will never forget 5 years ago driving 2 hours to Jamestown New York to see Tracy Lawrence as he was my favorite country artist. When we got to the venue and no one was there the hair stood up on the back of my neck. He cancelled 2 hours before the concert. Never got over it. Maybe one day he'll come to upstate New York again.....

[@RockN2Country]

@Thomas Suchy Ouch, man, that’s rough!! I hope you get to see him one day, too. Nonetheless, welcome aboard the channel!

[@brendaisajiw3417]

I almost cried. Such beauty in a great traditional country song and a great singer to boot! I was driving down a country road with my then teenage son in the passenger seat and this was playing and he said it was a really good song. At the time he and a girlfriend had broken up and I know he was thinking of her.

[@richardfrawley161]

[@b.j.anderson3190]

Tracy Lawrence “is that a tear” is an awesome song that you would like

[@mikesavage2114]

I'm an admirer of great creative songwriting that I can instantly relate to. This song paints such a picture in your mind as you're listening.

[@ahayes1917]

Oh my soul..I've loved this song since I was a teen..

[@handlebarslim78]

Tracy Lawrence has a great song called
(Time Marches on.) Boy does it tell a story.

Birmingham is a school of art idolizing country family life. So paint me a Birmingham is a plea for a perfect life.

[@PapaFixit]

@rockn2country I am so glad this hit you in the feels. I had a feeling it would. I was watching you close and saw the knife hit your heart the first time he said "for a while she'll be mine again".........then the second time when he sang " paint me back into her heart again" ..BOOM!!
Hit me the same way the first time I listened to it.
You and I don't always agree on songs. You have your criteria and it's different than mine. This song we have a common refrence for and I love everything you said in your reaction. This song starts so soft and pretty. Lulls you in with spring time, porches swings and love. Then bang it jumps up and bites you....... I'm only a little disappointed that you didn't tear up.....lol.

[@ritaking2201]

DaveG, watch it again Don did tear up.I don't like to see him sad.

[@PapaFixit]

Oh Rita I don't either. I was just teasing Don a bit. My phone screen keeps me from catching all the fine details.

[@danielherrlein4549]

Tracy Lawrence SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE MOON AND YOU is a great song!!

[@gloriashaeffer9117]

Tracy has been through a lot in his career which has led to his being so underrated, I feel like if someone has the talent it shouldn't matter what is in his personal lives. Beautiful song excellent reaction Thanks Don

[@mattferguson6404]

I think that is what makes country music so good. No matter what you are dealing with there is a country song that you can relate to.

[@appalachianqueen8369]

For some unfathomable emotional reason, I always listen to Craig Morgan’s “Almost Home “ after I listen to “ Paint Me a Birmingham “ by Tracy Lawrence. These are songs that allow you to close your eyes and use the words and melodies to paint each song onto the canvas of your mind.

[@rinthewolf]

Me too! They just seem to go together for some reason.

[@JesseWilliam95]

Tracy has so many good songs. Like 9.5 and up worthy. Bobby Darwin's Daughter is a song that really struck me hard.

[@toddhodges4405]

Tracy has never sang a bad song

[@wolfmccray3547]

Hey Don,
This is one of those songs I've heard many times... but, today is the first time I've ever LISTENED to it.
Beautiful work by writer and Tracy Lawrence.... if he didn't write this song....
His presentation of this, as you've already said was awesome! He just let the song speak for itself. Also, the emotion he put into this work shows that it was speaking to him as well.
Great job on the reaction...
KEEP RN2C BROTHER!!!

[@RockN2Country]

@Lone Wolf 63 That's exactly what started happening to me when I started doing reactions--I actually started dissecting songs--hearing them--on an entirely different level. Even songs that I'd thought I'd known took on newer and deeper shades of meaning, as though I was in the room with them when they were writing the lyrics. Many folks, myself included, don't know music the way you do, but the more we think and hear and learn, the more parts we can duct-tape together and make better sense of things. And sometimes I am blown away, even when a song is highly recommended. Many folks can't necessarily relate to the joy I experience when listening to these songs for the first time. I feel like Charlie going into the chocolate factory for the first time every time I react to a great song. As a grown man I can appreciate these songs on a whole different level than when I was a kid or even in my twenties, and I am so appreciative of the experience.

[@wolfmccray3547]

I agree, only life experience can cause one to appreciate things afresh that were there all along... Thanks brother... 👍

[@PapaFixit]

Lone wolf 63, I had the same experience. Heard this song dozens of times. Thought it just drone on. Didn't like it even. Then one day when I was alone and things were quiet I actually listened to it. Man it kicked my butt. Seriously I was tearing up all over...lol. what a powerful song.

I wish i knew who was the first person in the country music "biz" who decided we need more beaches with mixed drinks country songs, and less of these gems. I do miss turning on country radio and hearing Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, & Reba. i guess i took it for granted, and just thought it would never end.

This is a classic example of me not giving a song the chance that it deserves. I’ve heard this song a dozen times and had never sat down and listened to the story. Man, I was wrong to not do that until now. What a complete gem of a country song. It’s got everything that makes it country music great. As always, great reaction.

And I asked her to paint me a Birmingham and she said you want me to paint you a burning ham??? So I had to explain and show her all these videos of what I meant.

I've got a suggestion, how about doing Willie Watson doing "Gallows Pole".....Led Zeppelin recorded this song....how's that for "rock into country"? It's not an original Zeppelin song, it was original recorder by "Lead Belly".

Thanks Don! I’m so glad you really likes this gem! I saw him in concert last year in Fort Worth, Texas and it was surreal seeing someone I’ve been listening to for almost 30 years standing there not 20 feet from me! My favorite songs by Tracy Lawrence are Till I Was a Daddy Too, Sticks and Stones, Paint Me a Birmingham, If the World Had a Front Porch, I See it Now, Alibis, Can’t Break It to My Heart, Is That a Tear, As Any Fool Can See, Somebody Paints the Wall, Lie, My Second Home, and Texas Tornado. (In that order)

[@rodwise49]

Today's lonely fool by Tracy Lawrence is a good one also

[@davidemswiler4351]

Such a great song! But after your reaction, it had me thinking...just what was the said "Birmingham" he was referring to? The obvious answer?...a city in Alabama. Or maybe a Birmingham-style house? ...a southern two-story home with a wrap around porch. Or could it have been a Brummagen(Birmingham)-style painting? ...a large, cheap, easy-to-do painting. Or maybe, just maybe, he was actually just fiending for a Birmingham Omelet that the pretty lady on the porch used to make him? ...egg omelet stuffed with black-eyed peas, ham, and greens. :-)

[@saremile]

Maybe all of them😁

[@BattleHaven1185]

I think he's using "Birmingham" as his perfect life. Like, "Paint me back to where I'm happy". It's not specifically a place, but a feeling.
