Lyrics Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg

A13, Trunk Road To The Sea

If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness

Take the A road, the okay road that's the best

Go motorin' on the A13

Well, if you're looking for a thrill that's new

Take in Fords, Dartford Tunnel and the river too

Go motorin' on the A13

It starts down in Wapping

There ain't no stopping

By-pass Barking and straight through Dagenham

Down to Grays Thurrock

And rather near Basildon

Pitsea, Thundersley, Hadleigh, Leigh-On-Sea,

Chalkwell, Prittlewell

Southend's the end

If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness

Take the A road, the okay road that's the best

Go motorin' on the A13

It starts down in Wapping

There ain't no stopping

By-pass Barking and straight through Dagenham

Down to Grays Thurrock

And rather near Basildon

Pitsea, Thundersley, Hadleigh, Leigh-On-Sea,

Chalkwell, Prittlewell

Southend's the end

If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness

Take the A road, the okay road that's the best

Go motorin' on the A13

Go motorin' on the A13

Go motorin' on the A13
