Well, close your eyes and dream with me
I'm goin' on a trip through history
I wanna see some sights today
Hey, we'll go back when time was young
And you learned the trigger of the gun
Or you'd be six feet on your way

When the mountains closed the valley side
And the rivers held the miner's pride
It was the year of '49
Hey those days are now gone and dead
And I wish that I could see the lead
Flying from the cowboy's 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 to breathe the air and see all I can see
In my Texas time travelin' machine

Well the day goes on, the sun beats down
And bakes your skin a golden brown
Now your feelin' like a king
And we'll pull off along side the road
And see the land that Jesse owned
And all the times he spent with me
Then along the skyline of the trees
We'll skinnydip within the stream
And we'll flash the passin' cars
And then we'll jump into our Cadillac
The tracks of time will take us back
Back to the land off so far

Chorus

You got to take a look around and see
Tis 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 twice

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
