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 passing 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
