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
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
