Great American Wheel Route Bikepacking

Going to Chicago (The Endless Silent Blues)
[Verse 1]
I’m going to Chicago, sorry but I can’t take you
I’m going to Chicago, sorry but I can’t take you
There’s nothing in this town a seasoned woman can do
[Verse 2]
Look up at the horizon, see that smoke up in the sky
Look up at the horizon, see that smoke up in the sky
The world is burning down, and this girl's too tired to cry
[Verse 3]
Smooth spin, silent glide, heavy air is rolling in
Smooth spin, silent glide, heavy air is rolling in

Sweat is dripping down, burning up my sticky skin
[Verse 4]
The heat is like a blanket, the humidity is high
The heat is like a blanket, the humidity is high
Breathing feels like choking underneath that smoky sky
[Verse 5]
She’s riding on a wizard, straight from Shakespeare's old town
Riding on a wizard, straight from Shakespeare's old town
An electrical magic motor, spinning all the wheels around
[Verse 6]
Built up by PedalUma, made real out of the spark
Built up by PedalUma, made real out of the spark
Prospero’s got the lightning to push us through the dawn
[Verse 7]
Quieter than any motor you could ever buy in a store
Quieter than any motor you could ever buy in a store
Just a silent phantom rolling, you won't hear a rumble or roar
[Verse 8]
A pack of mean old hound dogs tried to hunt her down today
A pack of mean old hound dogs tried to hunt her down today
But she outran them o'er the Rockies, left them howling far away
[Verse 9]
Smooth glide, effortless turn, floating through the heat
Smooth glide, effortless turn, floating through the heat

Electrical magic rolling down this melting asphalt street
[Verse 10]
Chicago’s right before her, but she doesn't want to stop
Chicago’s right before her, but she doesn't want to stop
She wants to bypass the city, keep climbing to the top
[Verse 11]
Let the miles roll forever, don't let this journey end
Let the miles roll forever, don't let this journey end
Just Patrice and her magic wizard, flying round the bend
[Verse 12]
The whistle is blowing, the tracks are covered in gray
The whistle is blowing, the tracks are covered in gray
Chicago’s up ahead, but they’re gonna ride right away
