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
