Toby Keith - Bethlehem In Birmingham lyrics

Christmas Eve in Birmingham It's a long, long way from Bethlehem Mary and Joe live outside of town On an old, run-down farm Mary says, Joe, you'd better get the car My contractions ain't that far apart But that Falcon stalled after sixty yards Out behind the barn So away to the stables go Mary and Joe Now, it's not much shelter, but it keeps them from the cold Mary's hurtin', Joe prays to God for a helping hand They need a Bethlehem miracle tonight in Birmingham A kerosene lantern is the only light Joe says, Mary, don't give up the fight She's gonna keep pushin' till the baby cries If it takes her last breath And as the dawn begins to break Across the fields, valleys and the lakes A baby's cry greets the light of day Merry Christmas and God bless So away in the stables lay Mary, the baby and Joe It's not much shelter, but it keeps them from the cold Mary's cradles her baby, Joe thanks God for the helping hand There was a Bethlehem miracle last night in Birmingham A Bethlehem miracle last night in Birmingham
