Written for Gram Parsons after his death, the sincerity and passion of this tribute is a masterpiece of grace and honor.

I remember sitting with my Grandfather on his Front Step as we watched the cars and trucks go by on Route 2 in New Brunswick. He talked about calculating the total number of cars on the road by counting the cars that pass in a minute and multiplying them. Those were some of my best memories in the 70's. He passed away in 1984.

if I make it to heaven and Emmylou isn't there, I may request a transfer

[@ansmfella]

She certainly helped bring and bless us all with a little heaven down on earth!

[@mattthompson9826]

She’ll be there singing with Gram.

[@Hockeybik]

Well, her voice certainly came from heaven.

👍👍👏👏❤️❤️Love from Switzerland!

She thought it was just another song, at her young age, not aware that this will be her the top hit song of her carrier. Epic! Listening it for 40 years.

[@christophercook3731]

we don't know what she thought. she might have damn well known. she's a brilliant musician.

I don't want to hear a love song I got on this airplane just to fly And I know there's life below me But all that you can show me is the prairie and the sky And I don't want to hear a sad story Full of heartbreak and desire The last time I felt like this I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire And I stood on the mountain In the night and I watched it burn I watched it burn, I watched it burn I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham I would hold my life in his saving grace I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham If I thought I could see, I could see your face Well, you really got me this time And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive And I come to listen for the sound Of the trucks as they move down out on 95 And pretend that it's the ocean Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean Baby, do you know what I mean? I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham I would hold my life in his saving grace I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham If I thought I could see, I could see your face If I thought I could see, I could see your face

Beautiful, Emmylou, beautiful !!! Tribute to Gram ...

[@kathleenthorpe5284]

My favorite song of hers. Never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

[@Syd_Lloyd]

I was in the audience watching her singing this song in Birmingham (UK) about 25/30 years ago ... and I can still remember the concert ...

[@scottishjohnInTexas]

I saw her do this song for the first time shortly after Bill Monroe died. It was a very emotional experience...

[@dang2226]

[@northerncorner]

love this song and this version

[@peterquinlan9789]

The best alternative of this I've heard is by Jessie Buckley. But this is and always will be Emmylou's masterpiece. Brilliant songwriting & wonderful performance. One of my favourite musicians.

[@lindsayheywood7195]

Jessie Buckley's version is truly beautiful!

[@robertfanfalone3099]

Boulders in my head and filtering down to my Heart 💜 over you and just the thought of you is like to an exquisite Birmingham Smile on my face...happens every time then I see your face and it happens every time and time again... when will I ever LEARN ???...hey buddy could you spare a dime... I got to get to Birmingham come hell or high water... now let me see... hmm... how many dimes is that at today's crossroads...boy I need a few more hands!!! AND not to mention a few more dimes... I won't even mention that other nickel I need to rub together...I come to the conclusion that notwithstanding its reputation hope's main function is to rope a dope... seems rational, wouldn't you say?
