Road To Chicago

from Forgotten Fishbowl by Henry Crook Bird

/

lyrics

Dug a bike out the backyard shed, still works like a charm
Thick toothed tires and hard spokes ready to ride
Gonna tackle the hardnosed trail of the California-Illinois line
Shower up, shave and stand out right by your side

And he's sweet, he's witty, shares what he's got
And what little he's got is enough
His loyal and gentle way give you reason enough to stay
But still I pedal on

Broke the gate of the Grass Valley north to the desert below
Picturesque state of despair for not an ounce of hope
Rang the bell of the Great Salt Lake, found a friendly hello
Selling my pride back for two cents door to door

And he's sweet, he's witty, shares what he's got
And what little he's got is enough
His loyal and gentle way give you reason enough to stay
But still I pedal on

Says on the map that I passed Cheyenne, must have missed it I s'pose
Plowed through the trail to the Omaha border just a pinching my nose
Turn the page on the fields of gold, got a chapter to go
To catch in my eye the lakeside that you call home

And he's sweet, he's witty, shares what he's got
And what little he's got is enough
His loyal and gentle way give you reason enough to stay
But still I pedal on
