"Quick Step to Texas in the Driving Wind 
And It Seems the Man in the Moon Was Crying Too 
As He Left the Kansas Wheat Fields and Made For Dallas 
All in a Dream 

He'd Been Born Twenty-odd Years Ago Today 
But He Didn't Believe He'd Yet Been Alive 
So He Kept the Night in Dallas and When He Woke 
He Made a Push For Santa Fe Hey Hey Hey 
And He Might Explain That 

I ... I'm Biding My Time 
I'll Hitch My Wagon Up to Another Star 
I'm Taking My Own Sweet Time 
Who Knows Where I'll Be a Day From Now

But the Dreams Cashed in and Made Men Go 
And the Rivers Had Done Run Dry

Of An Indian Girl and a Cabin in the Snow 
Perhaps Santa Fe Will Be Kinder

But Your Dreams Come Clean Over Miles of Road 
And Come to Think of It 
Tucson Don't Seem Too Much Further to Go 

Cause I ... I'm Biding My Time 
I'll Hitch My Wagon Up to Another Star 
I . . .i'm, I'm Taking My Own Sweet Time 
Who Knows Where I'll Be a Day From Now
