Birmingham Blues - Album Version Songtext

Working on the road across this great big world Ive been rolling like a stone, I never get back home Yes, Ive been long-gone And boy, Ive got the birmingham blues. Been across the ocean to the south sea isles Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles And Ive been long-gone And boy, Ive got the birmingham blues. Across the world Ive seen People and places Could be the same But with a different name. I wouldnt change the things I do for anything But Id just like to hear the message of the streets again Give me a ticket Cause boy, Ive got the birmingham blues. It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet Industrial revolution put it on its feet But its a long, long way Boy, Ive got the birmingham blues. Across the world Ive seen People and places Could be the same But with a different name. Ill go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet Theyll say you wont stay long, you got them travelling feet Youll soon be long-gone cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues! Across the world Ive seen People and places Could be the same But with a different name. - repeat -
