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
