Gonna take the 405 train
to Apache Junction.
Bought me a one-way ticket,
and I ain't look'n back.
When I get there, I'm gonna hike the
Apache trail; forget about my past,
and look forward to the future -
It's my dream to climb Superstition Mountain,
and lookout across the wilderness,
to free my mind of all negative thoughts,
about the town that I left behind -
This is my fresh start! In the land where
they still panhandle for gold.
I hear that the sun, is at its most beautiful
setting, over the Goldfield mountains.
It feels right, I have a gleam in my eyes again,
and through the blessings of the Great Spirit,
I'll have a few gold coins in my pockets too.
I'll visit the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine,
and prospect for a few nickels and dimes.
I'll gallop back to my place on a horse,
kickback in the cool shade, from my
clay colored, adobe style home,
and look out at a field of cactus trees,
take a sip of some citrus infused water,
and call it a day.
Yep! no worry's, no problems,
just the sky, and the Arizona air -
Well, gotta go, here come the westbound 405
to Apache Junction.
