"Postmarked Birmingham" is a song recorded by American country group Blackhawk. It was released in October 1997 as the second single from the album Love & Gravity. The song reached number 37 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. The song was written by Phil Vassar and Don Sampson.

Content

The song is a mid-tempo ballad accompanied mainly by piano. In it, the narrator states that his lover has left him, and that the only "clue" she has given him is a letter that is "postmarked Birmingham". A review in Billboard praised Henry Paul's lead vocal, his bandmates' harmonies, and the "understated" production, while also making note of the "direct and appealingly conversational" lyrics.
