[Verse 1]
Oh, go to sleep, you weary hobo
Lay back, lay back and close your eyes
I know you've seen a lot of sorrow
I know you've heard a lot of lies
[Verse 2]
They said, "Work hard and save your money"
You were a worker all your life
And in the end, who got the honey
But the hand that robbed the hive?
It's a hard bargain they drive
[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye to Main Street
Goodbye, company town
And who can say how far away
This wayward train is bound?
[Verse 3]
And though the hounds come 'round your doorway
And though the viper's at your heel
Well, you can dream your rags to riches
On a stitch of gleaming steel
On a shining reel-to-reel
Oh, go to sleep, you weary hobo
Lay back, lay back and close your eyes
I know you've seen a lot of sorrow
I know you've heard a lot of lies
[Verse 2]
They said, "Work hard and save your money"
You were a worker all your life
And in the end, who got the honey
But the hand that robbed the hive?
It's a hard bargain they drive
[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye to Main Street
Goodbye, company town
And who can say how far away
This wayward train is bound?
[Verse 3]
And though the hounds come 'round your doorway
And though the viper's at your heel
Well, you can dream your rags to riches
On a stitch of gleaming steel
On a shining reel-to-reel
