[introduction, banjo with a walking beat] [verse 1] Going is sometimes hard Leaving a place that Held you dear. It’s ok to shed a tear For you and me. Going is sometimes easy Leavin dirty old city lights Or a small old town Full of frowns. [Chorus] But if you got no dark You got no light. You might have eyes But you won’t have sight. If you never go You’ll never know What its like living In deserts or snow. you never leave You’ll never arrive. see anything new Burning up your tires Until you’re old and tired. If you never leave, you’ll never arrive. [verse 2] Arriving can take some time Chasing neon rainbows Up and down the old Chicago line. Arriving can take some time Looking for a place Meeting new people With a friendly face Remember, [Chorus] if you got no dark You got no light. You might have eyes But you won’t have sight. If you never go You’ll never know What its like living In deserts or snow. You’ll never arrive. see anything new Burning up your tires Until you’re old and tired. If you never leave, you’ll never arrive. [banjo and ukelele solo] [verse 3] Once you land finally find a place to stand. Put down some roots And be a good man. You’ll hear it in the night feeling don’t seem right Hear that train a calling world gettin smaller This might be your last chance Remember, [Chorus] But if you got no dark You got no light. You might have eyes But you won’t have sight. If you never go You’ll never know What its like living In deserts or snow. You’ll never arrive. won’t see anything new Burning up your tires Until you’re old and tired. If you never leave, you’ll never arrive. [conclusion] If you never leave You’ll never arrive. If you never leave You’ll never arrive.
