Working on the road across This great big world, Yeah, Ive been rolling like a stone I never get back home. Yes, Ive been long-gone, Boy, Ive got the Birmingham Blues.
Ive been across the ocean To the south sea isles Yeah, I travelled to the east and west For miles and miles and miles And Ive been long-gone, Boy, Ive got the Birmingham Blues.
Across the world (across the world) Ive seen People and places (people and places) Could be the same (everywhere Ive been), But with a different name.
Oh, 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 (across the world) Ive seen People and places (people and places) Could be the same (everywhere Ive been), But with a different name.
Ill go and stay a while And all the folks I meet Theyll say, You wont stay long, You got them travellin feet Youll soon be long-gone, Cause boy, you got the rest of the world blues.
Across the world (across the world) Ive seen People and places (people and places) Everywhere Ive been (dont you know it could be the same?), But with a different name.
Across the world People and places (people and places) Everywhere Ive been.
Across the world (across the world) People and places (people and places) Could be the same (everywhere Ive been), But you know, its got a different name.
Across the world People and places Everywhere Ive been...
