Hello L.A. Bye Bye Birmingham Juicy Lucy

I packed everything I own
And I put it in a knapsack, yeah yeah
I'm leaving Birmingham, yes I am
And I ain't gonna look back
Bought me a guitar and I wrote me a song
Played it to the DJ on the telephone
Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes I am
Hello, LA, bye bye, Birmingham

Riding on a Greyhound bus
Across the Tennessee borderline
Eating off a poor boy's sandwich
Sneaking drinks from a quart of wine
Gotta get off at the next stop
My ticket's only good to Little Rock
Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes I am
Hello, LA, bye bye, Birmingham

Got mixed-up with a big city woman in Little Rock
Spent two days and nights in a county jail
Had to take a two day job to get my guitar out of hock
That's the way it goes when you ain't got dough to make bail, whoa

Darn run out of transportation, found I had to hitchhike
Got mixed-up with a tattooed dude on a motorbike
Who's gonna know when I'm in town?
Heads gonna turn when they hear my sound
Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes I am
Hello, LA, bye bye, Birmingham
Hello, LA, bye bye, Birmingham
