drinking whiskey at the bar
unhitched my wagon from that star
too sad and lonely to be any good
polishing water rings into the wood

i lost it all today
my life, my job, my pay
everything I had and more
was riding on that lode of ore

i hitched my wagon to that star
and followed my dream way too far
i bet everything i had
on dreams that were quite mad

but i won't sit here and lie
i would give it another try
cause my dreams i have to follow
and hope they all don't turn out hollow

i'd hitch that wagon up again
to see how things turn out in the end
i'd hitch my wagon as i'm learning
and follow the next one straight onto morning
