	It’s a 4 hour flight from Baltimore to Breckinridge and a 4 hour flight to get back they’re counting the votes at 3 on a Sunday and my bags are already packed On my 4 hour flight from Baltimore to Breckinridge I don’t wonder if I could stay here All of the vultures Keep calling me back And I know I’ll be gone in a year On the road again From Baltimore On the road again To the snow Wave goodbye to the Harbor Hello to the hills But who knows when I’ll have to go It’s a 4 hour flight from Breckinridge to Baltimore and this time my body is trapped the election’s a landslide I’m left in the dark but my bags were already packed On my 4 hour flight from Breckinridge to Baltimore I wonder if I’ll get to stay Who’d ever want Nagomi McDaniel When she’s shelled and she can’t escape On the road again From Breckinridge On the road again To the Bay Wave goodbye to the mountains Hello to the coast But who knows how long I might stay Wave goodbye to the Styx and Goodbye to the island Goodbye to the Harbor Goodbye to the mountains Goodbye to my teammates Goodbye to my rivals Goodbye to the fans who have made me their idol On the road again From Breckinridge On the road again From Baltimore On the road again On the road again On the road again On the road again Wave goodbye to the mountains Hello to the coast But who knows how long I might stay
