Paint Me a Birmingham

"Paint Me a Birmingham" is a song written by Buck Moore and Gary Duffy.

It was concurrently released by American country music artists Ken Mellons and Tracy Lawrence, whose versions entered the country charts within one week of each other.

Lawrence's was the more successful of the two, reaching #4 in May 2004 and becoming his first Top 5 country hit since "Lessons Learned" in April 2000.

The singer asks the painter to paint a picture of the life the man had planned, or imagined, before losing the woman he loved.

On his 2004 album Bipolar and Proud, country music parodist and comedian Cledus T. Judd parodied the song as "Bake Me a Country Ham", featuring guest vocals from Tracy Lawrence.
