Hello L.a., Bye Bye Birmingham Lyrics - Blue Cheer

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 DJ 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
