Song Description

Roosevelt's Train, about Teddy Roosevelts 66 day train trip to Yosemite and Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon in 1903

Lyrics

Roosevelt's Train

I want to ride on Roosevelt's train
Across the great Midwestern plains
Talk of the Sioux and the buffalo
The Grand Tetons and Black hills gold
Yeah, he'd tell me how it feels
To face down the devil charging up San Juan hill

When the country was young
And a man could dream
The rivers wild
The air was clean
We could only ride by horse or rail
Sleep outside 'neath the big dippers tail
Listen to John Muir snore
Twice as loud as the night before
Wake up, snowflakes on our tongues
When the country was young

I want to ride on Roosevelt's train
Yosemite's Sierra Mountain range
Taste the mist of a waterfall
Hike for days not see it all
Like a hawk upon the wind
I'd never feel so high again

Chorus

Yellowstone, Yosemite the Grand Canyon
All the rough riders came to stand by him
How we all sat up tall
When Roosevelt said he'd save them all

Chorus
