Intro: verse 1: Bought my ticket, took that bus One cold Monday morning Mid-September, Nineteen-Sixty-Three, I Paid no heed to the warning But they said, don't go too far out from here It's twice as far returning Looking back I could see nothing for the smoke From the bridges I was burning And it's a long way back down to where I come from And I've got nothing to forget There's a list of things here I have to do And I've hardly started yet verse 2: Well, I've been close to trouble, I've been close to death I've been close to some fine women There are places where I'm always welcome and Some where they say, "Don't let him in" But I've spent my time in company That was faithful and was trying Like that black-eyed girl from Birmingham Who was with me when I was crying And it's a long way back down to where I come from And I've got nothing to forget There's a list of things here I have to do And I've hardly started yet I've hardly started yet verse 3: Ohh well, I've spent my time working for the day When I can leave this joke behind me And I don't need you making token gestures That casually remind me That I'm stuck out here at the break of dawn With my faculties diminished That little Hazel has to wait, but it won't be long 'Til I get this damn song finished And it's a long way back down to where I come from And I've got nothing to forget But there's a list of things here I have to do And I've hardly started yet I've hardly started yet I've hardly started yet I've hardly started yet OUTRO:
