Overland

Goodbye brother, hello railroad, so long, Chicago All these years, thought I was where I ought to be But times are changin', this country's growin' And I'm bound for San Francisco Oh, I've lived through more than I could tell I've sold all that I could sell Finally leavin' it behind, goodbye, farewell If it isn't one thing, then it's one thing more If it isn't a fever that shows you the door It's the air, or the water or the goddamn war Goodbye brother, hello railroad, so long, Chicago All these years, thought I was where I ought to be But times are changin', this country's growin' And I'm bound for San Francisco Mama died when brother was born Daddy tried but he came up short We were hungry, scared, and needed more How much can a person take? I've been working hard since I was eight Got more than my share of years upon my face (upon my face) Brother, I've made up my mind Got a ticket on the Union Line I know we'll meet again on the other side Goodbye brother, hello railroad, so long, Chicago All these years, thought I was where I ought to be But times are changin', this country's growin' And I'm bound for San Francisco Where a new life waits for me Goodbye brother, hello railroad, so long, Chicago All these years, thought I was where I ought to be But times are changin', this country's growin' And I'm bound for San Francisco Where a new life waits for me
