"Quick step to Texas in the driving wind
And it seems the man in the moon was crying too
As he left the Kansas wheat fields and made for Dallas
All in a dream

But he didn't believe he'd yet been alive

I'll hitch my wagon up to another star
I'm taking my own sweet time
Who knows where I'll be a day from now

And the rivers had done run dry

Of an Indian girl and a cabin in the snow

But your dreams come clean over miles of road
And come to think of it
Tucson don't seem too much further to go
Cause I ... I'm biding my time
I'll hitch my wagon up to another star
I . . .I'm, I'm taking my own sweet time
Who knows where I'll be a day from now
I . . .I'm"
