Well close your eyes and dream with me I'm goin on a trip through history I wanna see some sights today Yeah we'll go back when time was young And you learned the trigger of a gun Or you'd be six feet on your way When the mountains closed the valley side And rivers held the miners pride It was the year of forty-nine Well those days are now gone and dead And I wish that I could see the lead Flying from the cowboys iron Chorus I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me I wanna be there, breathe the air and see all I can see In my Texas time travelin' machine The day goes on, the sun beats down It bakes your skin to golden brown Now your feelin like a king We'll pull off along side the road And see the land ol Jesse owned And all the times he spent with me Then along the skyline of the trees We'll skinny dip within the stream And we'll flash the pa**ing cars
Then we'll jump into our Cadillac The tracks of time will take us back Back to the land off so far Chorus I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me I wanna be there, breathe the air and see all I can see In my Texas time travelin' machine You've got to take a look around And see this land before it drowns Underneath the city streets Geronimo he said it best This is my land I will not rest Until I'm dead or it's been freed Chorus I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me I wanna be there, breathe the air and see all I can see In my Texas time travelin' machine Chorus I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me I wanna be there, breathe the air and see all I can see In my Texas time travelin' machine
