>> Birmingham Blues <<

      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.

     Been across the ocean to the south sea isles 
     Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles 
     And I've been long-gone 
     And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues.

     	CHORUS: 
     	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.

     	REPEAT CHORUS

     I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet 
     They'll say "You won't stay long, you got them travelling feet 
     You'll soon be long-gone 
     'Cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!"

     	REPEAT CHORUS

     	REPEAT CHORUS

 - Jeff Lynne
