Close your eyes and dream with me, I'm goin' on a trip through history
I wanna see some sights today
We'll go back when time was young and you learned the trigger of the gun
Or you'd be six feet on your way
When the mountains closed the valley side and the rivers held the miner's
pride
It was the year of '49
Well those days are now gone and dead and I wish that I could see the lead
Flying from the cowboy's iron
I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me
I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me
I wanna be there to breathe the air and see all that I can see
In my Texas time travelin' machine
Well the day goes on, the sun beats down and bakes your skin a golden brown
