D                              A                            Bm                              G 
Close your eyes and dream with me, I'm goin' on a trip through history 
D            A                        G 
I wanna see some sights today 
D                            A                                      Bm                    G 
We'll go back when time was young and you learned the trigger of the gun 
D                  A                      D 
Or you'd be six feet on your way 
D                                              A                           Bm                  G 
When the mountains closed the valley side and the rivers held the miner's pride 
D               A        G 
It was the year of '49 
D                                     A                              Bm                          G 
Well those days are now gone and dead and I wish that I could see the lead 
D           A                      D 
Flying from the cowboy's iron 
 
Chorus: 
D                 A      Bm                        G       D          A 
I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me 
D              A      Bm                  G          D         A 
I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me 
A          G   D         A              Bm      D              A       Bm 
I wanna be there to breathe the air and see all that I can see 
         G             D           A 
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 
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 
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 this land before it drowns 
Underneath the city streets 
Geronimo, he said it best,
