Meet Me at Dawn

(Oh!) Old saloon, deep maroon, we're new to the town A man walks in and sits himself down with us (Oh!) Seeking gold, very old, he's asking around If we can help him he'll reward us (Oh!) Meet at dawn with a yawn, we're outta the town He gives the lowdown, pickaxe, heavy packs (Oh!) Hot sun, no fun, way outta the town Follow the boot tracks now no going back Not all that glitters is gold So I've always been told Not all that's missing should be found Still, he turns to me and says Meet me at dawn Up in the mountains Near the trail with the hidden waterfalls Superstition says there's a gold mine no one can find Ten years of searching It's in Arizona, maybe Colorado Oh who knows? I could still find it if I try (Oh!) Take a nap, hear a snap, why's there smoke in my eyes? I can't see Fred or Ted or anyone (Oh!) Through the smoke, don't choke, fire's blocking the way I drop and roll downhill to the creek bed (Oh!) On my feet, don't miss a beat, looking around I think I found that dusty old trail again (Oh!) Rattlesnake, big mistake, she's looking around I turn and run uphill to my friends again Not all that glitters is gold So I've always been told Not all that's missing should be found Still, he turns to me and says Meet me at dawn Up in the mountains Near the trail with the hidden waterfalls Superstition says there's a gold mine no one can find Ten years of searching It's in Arizona, maybe Colorado Oh who knows?

Prospector says it can't deceive him (Oh!) Pile of rocks, cave is blocked, it leads underground The most lost-and-found-again gold mine (Oh!) Old man stops, then he drops down onto his knees And then he laughs and cries for a long time Not all that glitters is gold So I've always been told Not all that's missing should be found Still, he turns to me and says Meet me at dawn Up in the mountains Near the trail with the hidden waterfalls Superstition says there's a gold mine no one can find Ten years of searching It's in Arizona, maybe Colorado Oh who knows? I could still find it if I try
