Heavy on

Well now every time I’m stopped at a railroad track I gotta hitch my horses, gotta pull them back. I feel the wheels in my heart going clickety-clack. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Wanna toss my worries in a gunny sack. Throw them in the river and don’t look back. Jump through the night like a Spring-heeled Jack. Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

Gonna wear no tie, never scrape my mug. Wanna pull my duckets from the local jug.
Duck that yardman swinging his bug. Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Well I’m 24 goodbye. I’m 28 goodbye. Now I’m 10-7 goodbye goodbye, I’m 418 goodbye.

And I don’t need your money or your Cadillac. Don’t want to climb your corporate ladder of broken backs. And every minute that I wait I’m just losing track. Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

I’ve got a new address where you can forward my pay, it’s called the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe. I just stopped in so I could hear you say, “Goodbye goodbye goodbye.”

I’m gonna leave your mausoleum of steel and glass. Nail that John O’Brien out of this impasse. Whistle up and you underscrubs can kiss my ass goodbye, goodbye goodbye.

Unkempt hair and thread-bare slacks I’ll take my leave of your artifacts. I’ll be passed out behind Pasternacks goodbye

When John Butler Train comes around the bend I’m gonna lay the hammer down on his crown again. Grab that flyer to the end and then Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Click-clack Crick-crack
Cry cry cry for your midnight man. I’ll beat my way Westbound to broken promise land.
Will you stand by your hobohemian? Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Shake the dust off my feet with a bindle full. Read them tables like its integral. Keep my peepers for the cinder bull. Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Its heavy on this glory road, its heavy on goodbye. Its heavy every row I hoed, its heavy on goodbye.
