Working on the road across this great big world |
|
I've been rolling like a stone, I never get back home |
|
Yes, I've been long-gone |
|
And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues |
|
I been across the ocean to the South Sea isles |
|
Yeah, I traveled to the east and west for miles and miles and miles |
|
And I've been long-gone |
|
Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues |
|
Across the world I've seen |
|
People and places |
|
Could be the same |
|
But with a different name |
|
I wouldn't change the things I do for anything |
|
But I'd just like to hear the message of the streets again |
|
Give me a ticket |
|
'Cause boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues |
|
It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet |
|
Industrial revolution put it on its feet |
|
But it's a long, long way |
|
Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues |
|
Across the world I've seen |
|
People and places |
|
Could be the same |
|
But with a different name |
|
I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet |
|
They'll say "You won't stay long, you got them traveling feet |
|
You'll soon be long-gone |
|
'Cause boy, you got the rest of the world blues!" |
|
Across the world I've seen |
|
People and places |
|
Don't you know it could be the same |
|
But with a different name |
|
Across the world I've seen |
|
People and places |
|
Could be the same |
|
But with a different name |
