Goodbye, brother; hello, railroad So long, Chicago All these years thought I was where I oughta be But times are changing This country is growing 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 leaving 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 oughta be But times are changing This country's growing And I'm bound for San Francisco Mama died, brother was born (uhh) Daddy tried, but he came up short We were hungry, scared, and needed more How much can a person take? I been working hard since I was eight Got more of 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 (sing it with us) Goodbye, brother; hello, railroad So long, Chicago All these years thought I was where I oughta be But times are changing This country's growing 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 oughta be But times are changing This country's growing And I'm bound for San Francisco Where a new life waits for me Wait for me, whoa
