Overland lyrics
» Chorus: Sara Watkins «
Goodbye brother, hello railroadSo long, Chicago
All these years, thought I was where I ought to be
But times are changing
This country's growing
And I'm bound for San Francisco
» Verse 1: Watkins «
Oh I've lived through more than I could tellI'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
» Chorus: Watkins// «
All these years thought I was where I ought to be
But times are changing
But times are changing
And I'm bound for San Francisco
» Verse 2: Watkins/ «
Mama died, brother was bornDaddy 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 than my share of years upon my face
I been working hard since I was eight
Got more than my share of years upon my face

And I'm
Where a new life waits for me
Where a new life waits for me
