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 is 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 is 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 is 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 is 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 is been run over
I'm ready to go underground

This is my gold miner dream...
Gold miner dream...

Endless young man
Gold miner dream...

This is my gold miner dream...
