Birmingham Blues

Lyrics

[Intro] ('Cause I've got!) [Verse 1] Working on the road Across this great big world Yeah, I've been rolling like a stone I never get back home Yes, I've been long-gone Boy, I've got the Birmingham blues [Verse 2] I've been across the ocean To the south sea isles Yeah, I travelled to the east and west For miles and miles and miles And I've been long-gone Boy, I've got the Birmingham blues [Chorus] Across the world (Across the world) People and places (People and places) Could be the same (Everywhere I've been) But with a different name [Verse 3] Oh, I wouldn't change the things I'd 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Across the world, I've seen (Across the world) People and places (People and places) Could be the same (Everywhere I've been) But with a different name [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] I'll go and stay a while And all the folks I meet They say, "You won't stay long You got them travelin' feet You'll soon be long-gone 'Cause boy, you've got the rest of the world blues" [Chorus] (Across the world) Across the world, I've seen (People and places) People and places (Everywhere I've been) Don't you know it could be the same? But with a different name (Across the world) People and places (People and places) (Everywhere I've been) Across the world, I've seen (Across the world) People and places (People and places) Could be the same (Everywhere I've been) But you know, it's got a different name [Outro] (Across the world) (People and places) (Everywhere I've been)...
