Feelin' low

Rockin' slow

I want to go

Right back where I belong



Way down south in Birmingham

I mean south in Alabam'

There's an old place where people go

To dance the night away



They all drive or walk for miles

To get jive that southern style

It's an old jive that makes you want

To dance till break of day



It's a junction where the town folks meet

At each function in a tux they greet you



Come on down, forget your care

Come on down, you'll find me there

So long town, I'm heading for

Tuxedo Junction now



(instrumental break)
