lyrics

WHEN I GET TO WHERE THEY'RE TAKING US words/music: bill mallonee

Say a "good~bye" to your small town
Say "hello" to your new life that's been drowning in the dust
Say "good~bye" to the family
I promise I'll write regularly when i get
to where they're taking us

Burlington/Northern...old Santa Fe
silver rails gleaming like a quarter and there's n'er a trace of rust
treat everyone fairly
I promise I'll write regularly
when i get to where they're taking us

bridge:
tossing you a scrap...throwing you a crust
it's all ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Well, they say you can't ever miss
what was never yours to keep
i see you when i close my eyes, honey you're all i'll ever trust
Say "good~bye" to the family
I promise I'll write regularly
when i get to where they're taking us
