For the uninitiated, Time Trax was an early 1990s syndicated sci-fi program about a “Fugitive Retrieval” cop from the 22nd century traveling back 200 years to capture criminals from his own time who made the trip. One of the traits of the 22nd century stated, but rarely discussed, was that the White race had allowed itself to become an oppressed minority seemingly given “enclaves” comparable to present-day Indian reservations. The officer we follow is himself White, and more than that is considered a “patriot,” having much memorabilia from a country once called the United States of America. (See HERE for intro telling the story.)
In this episode (full episode HERE), we learn his favorite musician is a 20th century female Country singer, who he manages to meet before she made it big. This song seems to tell the story of a person tired of city life, and seeking to return to their home in the country. Obviously, it goes to a certain appreciation of his people’s heritage.
It’s a shame the song was apparently never completed and released. Indeed, in 200 years it may well have served as a heritage song for my people.
LYRICS of as much of the song as is in the episode. Some may be improvised, though. Taken from post on above video.
