Overland

[Chorus: Sara Watkins]

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

[Verse 1: Sara Watkins]

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

[Chorus: Sara Watkins, Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz & Aoife O'Donovan]

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

[Verse 2: Sara Watkins & Sarah Jarosz]

Mama died, brother was born

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)

[Pre-Chorus: Sara Watkins & Aoife O'Donovan, Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz & Aoife O'Donovan]

Brother, I've made up my mind

Got a ticket on the Union Line

I know we'll meet again on the other side

[Chorus: Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz & Aoife O'Donovan, Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz & Aoife O'Donovan]

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
