Artist/Band: Toby Keith
Lyrics for Song: Bethlehem in Birmingham
Lyrics for Album: Christmas To Christmas [1995]



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


Bethlehem in Birmingham

Toby Keith's 'Bethlehem in Birmingham' stands as a defining track from his 1995 album 'Christmas To Christmas,' blending traditional Christmas carols with his signature country-rock sound. Released during a pivotal era in his career, the song exemplifies Keith's ability to reinterpret holiday music for a modern audience while maintaining its nostalgic core. The recording features his characteristic vocal delivery and acoustic instrumentation, creating a warm, festive atmosphere that resonated widely across the United States. As part of his extensive discography, this single showcases his versatility in the genre, bridging the gap between classic folk traditions and contemporary country pop. It remains a staple of his holiday catalog, celebrated for its catchy melody and the way it reimagines the spiritual and cultural significance of Christmas through a distinctly American lens.
