Back in the Day

Wish I'd been born
When the Santa Fe rattled
Through the flatlands and grasslands
And the buffalo still had time

Wish I had lived
When the blacksmith mattered
The hammer and the anvil
Into the red orange void

What a song I could have made
If I had only lived
Back in the day

Wish I had traveled
That El Paso Road
Wagon trains and one horse towns
Westward Ho

Wish my good fortune
Was pulled from the gold rush
Panning all those rivers
For money that'll make you blush

What a song I could have made
If only I had lived
Back in the day

But here I am
I see ice on the ocean
Fog in the morning
And a new moon at night

I look out my window
I'm that light in the snow storm
With a place for my dreams
And a place to stay warm

What a song I could make
If only I live
Like today's the day
What a song I could make
If only I live
Like today's the day
