Palm trees and gold dust
Such a sight for eastern eyes
1849ers a little late to cross the great divide
God am i tired

I've tried to be a better man
My faith has been run over
Don't wanna be let down again
This is my gold miner dream

After the guilded age you search for something new
I hope that california feels like coming
Coming at home to you
Tell me the truth

I've tried to be a better man
My faith has been run over
Don't wanna be let down again
This is my gold miner dream

I've tried to be a better man
My faith has been run over
I'm ready to go underground

Am i just looking hear in vain???
Burned by the sun
And don't you let me down
Stay we can make it home

I've tried to be a better man
My faith has been run over
Don't wanna be let down again
This is my gold miner dream

I've tried to be a better man
My faith has been run over
I'm ready to go underground
