I've roamed and I've wandered
These fading white hills
To come and to know them
By name
See that one is Michael
And the other one is Sam
In the middle my favorite
She goes by Jane

I made my way down here
But can't tell you why
In the heart of a cold
Winter day
Not a soul did I know
All the voices unknown
A Forty Niner with nowhere
And all alone

But if you find your way back
To where I called home
Would you give them this letter
And sure let them know
I made it to the ocean
I feel so alive
There's gold beyond them mountains
I seen it with my eyes

I've met a few others
Who search for the prize
But caught up in these
Hollywood lies
"I can turn rags to riches
Just stand over there"
Like a serpent they'll find
A way outta there

And a drunk he will stumble
And give you a rich claim
But by tomorrow morning won't
Remember your name
And men will be men
As they dual for her touch
But fleeting is the moment
When they've had too much

But if you find your way back
To where I called home
Would you give them this letter
And sure let them know
I made it to the ocean
I feel so alive
There's gold beyond them mountains
I seen it with my eyes
