Birmingham Redux (2002 Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: Good Old Boys - 1974)

Let me tell you something about myself
I'm very wealthy, I'm a college man
I've got no time to trifle with trash like you
For I must be about my business (He must be about his business)
Have you seen my summer home in Mobile (Yes, we've seen it)
Have you seen me in my plane, racing with the sun (Yes, we have)
Have you seen me climb atop the ancient ruins of Tuscaloosa
Just as the old ones must have done
I got a wife named Maria
And I got a big, black dog named Dan
And I got a three-room apartment on East 14th Street
Downtown Birmingham

Birmingham, Birmingham
Greatest city in Alabam'
You can travel 'cross this entire land
There ain't no place like Birmingham
There ain't no place like Birmingham
