(Delaney Bramlett & MacDavis)
|
I packed everything I own
|
And I put it in a knapsack
|
I'm leaving Birmingham, yes I am
|
And I ain't lookin' back
|
I bought me a guitar and I wrote a song
|
I played it for the D.J. on the telephone.
|
|
|
Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes I am
|
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
|
Alright!
|
|
|
Riding on a Greyhound bus
|
'Cross the Tennessee borderline
|
Eating from a Po' Boy sandwich
|
Taking drinks from a quart of wine
|
I got to get off at the very last stop
|
My ticket's only good to Little Rock.
|
|
|
Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes I am
|
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham.
|
|
|
I got mixed up with a big city woman in Little Rock
|
I had to spend a week one time in the county jail
|
I had to take a two-day job to get my guitar out of hock
|
That's the way it goes when you got no dough to make bail.
|
|
|
I ran out of transportation funds, I had to hitchhike
|
I caught me a ride with a tattooed dude on a motorbike
|
People gonna know when I'm in town
|
Heads are gonna turn when they hear my sound.
|
|
|
Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes I am
|
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
|
Ow, Uh!
|
|
|
You know that I'm tired of going down
|
I believe I'm gonna leave this town
|
I'm leaving Birmingham, Yes I am
|
Yes I am, Yes I am!
|
|
|
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
|
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
|
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
|
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
|
Bye bye Birmingham
|
Bye bye Birmingham
|
Bye bye Birmingham
|
Bye bye Birmingham
|
Bye bye Birmingham!
