Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They all were losers
And none had a dime
And they all drew pictures
Of what was stored in their minds
Questions and answers
Filled with fables and rhymes
Headed west was a 49er
To stake his new shrine
[Verse 2]
Some never made
Their dreams come to life
Many men fell
From a gun or a knife
They grew old and weary
And ashamed
Of the stories they told
And the wealth that they gained
[Verse 3]
But the road was a rough one
Wind and hills were their foe
And now no man was a low man
They were too young to know
Headed west was a 49er
Get rich quick, live life finer
On and on and on the story goes
[Verse 4]
Some never made
Their dreams come to life
Many men fell
From a gun or a knife
They grew old and weary
And ashamed
Of the stories they told
And the wealth that they gained
[Verse 5]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
[Verse 6]
Now rich man and poor
Aren't equal to one
And they follow the stars
Once the journey's begun
Shines the gleam in their eye
And a song in their heart
If the land don't shred his mind
It'll tear his soul apart
[Verse 7]
Some never made
Their dreams come to life
Many men fell
From a gun or a knife
They grew old and weary
And ashamed
Of the stories they told
And the wealth that they gained
[Verse 8]
Some never made
Their dreams come to life
Many men fell
For a gun or a knife
They grew old and weary
And ashamed
Of the stories they told
And the wealth that they gained
That they gained
