Scott Reagan - Trekkin' Across the USA Lyrics

I ain't ever been to Boulder
But I reckon it's pretty nice
I've got my dreams slung over my shoulder
I'm off to take a hike
I think I'll go down to Nashville
Never been there before
I'll ride a boat down the Mississippi
Toss all my cares out the door
Trekkin' across the USA
Before I go and get old some day
I wanna see this land that I was told is mine
Where the countryside is beautiful
And the people are fine
I'm trekkin' across the USA
East to West on the American railway
North to South, follow the rivers winding
Take me home, for what a journey it has been
I'd like to wander through the Ozarks
Then head on down to the Delta, through Arkansas
I'll visit all the towns and the national parks
I've just got to see it all
I could go anywhere I please here
To the places I've always dreamt of
But I wanna be more than just some sightseer
Of this land and the great sky above
Trekkin' across the USA
Before I go and get old some day
I wanna see this land that I was told is mine
Where the countryside is beautiful
And the people are fine
I'm trekkin' across the USA
East to West on the American railway
North to South, follow the rivers winding
Take me home, for what a journey it has been
I'll go anywhere in New England
And far away in the Golden and Silver States
Just think of all the folks who I'll befriend
I can hardly even wait
I'm willing to work for transportation
Just give me a job for a bite to eat
I just wanna go around and get to know this great nation
I'm a patriot, not some deadbeat
Trekkin' across the USA
Before I go and get old some day
I wanna see this land that I was told is mine
Where the countryside is beautiful
And the people are fine
I'm trekkin' across the USA
East to West on the American railway
North to South, follow the rivers winding
Take me home, for what a journey it has been
And I know I can't take another step or breath
Unless I set out right now
