lyrics

The train’s singing out to a scimitar moon;
The scraping of brakes is its lullaby tune.
Oh me, oh my,
I’m back in Gate City again.

It ain’t even got a river to wash away our sins--
And someone smashed out the window on the Civil Rights Museum.
Oh me, oh my,
I’m back in Gate City again.

Uncle Sam sent me across a big sea,
I stared at the desert till it stared back at me.
Oh me, oh my,
I’m back in Gate City again.

Then I ran off to England, to try and feel whole,
The water washed the rocks from the river of my soul.
Oh me, oh my,
I’m back in Gate City again.

I was gone for so long, nearly lost track of time,
But they still ain’t got windows on the Industries of the Blind.
Oh me, oh my,
I’m back in Gate City again.

Last time I was here, we both wanted to leave.
And now that I’m back—well, we might if we please.
But it ain’t so bad with you by my side.
I’m back in Gate City again.
