I'm writing to you let you know
I'm heading west for gold
To start a life with you by my side
I’ve always dreamed that we
Would be famous back at home
Rich beyond our means
Far aint far enough
To describe how I feel
I’m feeling anxious though
It’s not easy like I thought
But don’t worry dear
I’m still striving strong
I’m hoping soon i'll be
Drifting along
A fear has a hold
Of me by the throat
I’m striving to break free
This place is breaking me
It’s hard it’s hard to say
Looks like the folks were right
aint got what it takes
I aint got what it takes
I dream of what I had
and what I had was you
and I left like a fool
I’m waiting on your post
will you wait for my ghost
