I put brick because the first time I went to Deadwood they had some brick streets, the rest are tar and it takes away from the poem. It is shot because I'm talking about the reinactment of Hitchock's death, which occurs in the most unmodernized saloon in town.
Geez, June, leave a little reviewing for the rest of us! 
Just kidding!
Anyway, ignore the fact that Juniper has given you a review for the time being. I'm going to give you a review, Claery-style.
Take a drive back through time
to the last bit of wild west left
[s]in this new time U.S.A.[/s] Take this out. for one it creates problems for the flow of the poem, and also it's confusing to the rest of us.
[s]Take a[/s] step into the old saloon Too repetitive.
to see Wild Bill Hitchcock shot. Is this "shot" or "shoot"? ^^
Then follow me to the courthouse
there is a trail for his murder tonight,
watch as Jane makes a calamity of it all
Walk down streets of brick. Brick? I didn't realize they had brick back then. And brick streets sounds kind of weird, no offense.
Careful which lane you walk down,
there’s to be a shootout at noon
There’s no mall for miles around,
but history is embedded in the ground Why do these lines rhyme when the rest don't?
Put on your petticoats and cowboy hat Despite what June said, I think saying "put on" is better for the flow of the poem than saying "don" is. Even if it is what they would normally have said back then.
If you would,
and travel back in time
to a place called Deadwood. My favorite part. XD
Hey there Erica! June here!
When I read the title of this, I was totally expecting something like writing deadwood (you know when there's too much excessive words?) 
.
Anyway! This brings to mind the TV series Deadwood, that I think was on HBO or something? Let's get on with this review.
This first bit carries a bit of deadwood (no pun intended). I think that some of this can be left behind, because it's not really adding much substantial information to the poem, dear.

I think you can reconstruct it to be more creative sounding. Perhaps replace it with a synonym; stroll, tread, or even use a bigger word such as explore. Put on your petticoats and cowboy hat

I think that "Put on" should be replaced with "Don", because in the old times, it was far more common for people to say "don" rather than put on.
Pay attention, and throw some periods and semicolons in there.
