Wild West |
Out to the west there’s a trail that leads somewhere |
And a call of the wild that takes some people there |
Through Monument Valley to California sun |
From New Amsterdam to the Way the West Was Won |
Well, years will go by when you won’t get nowhere |
You’re cold and you’re tired and you’re free and you don’t care |
You keep pushin' on when your friends keep turning back |
And you keep building towns and laying railroad track |
And things get crazy and you have to use that gun |
And you wonder if this is the way the west is won |
But keep thinkin' that way and you won’t get nowhere |
'Cause you got a right just to get where you’re goin' to |
Gotta keep runnin' gotta be the best |
Gotta walk tall in the wild west |
You keep on the move or you try to settle down |
And there’s strangers from further and further away in town |
And you give them some tools and they know what must be done |
And you know who’s the boss and you know the west was won |
And they say… |
Where I come from you can’t get nowhere |
I’m breaking my back for some opportunity |
Making my fortune and I’ll take it all home |
Tell my kids about the wild west |
But there’s still beauty as the flowers bloom on desert sands |
And there’s still hope as the sun rises over the Rio Grande |
But it’s so crowded now and nothing’s simple any more |
And they’re still knocking at your door |
You hear guns in the night and you hope they’re not for you |
'Cause a dog eats a dog then he eats his master too |
In the land of the free and the not so often brave |
There’s both love or money, now choose which you will save |
But… keep thinkin' that way and you won’t get nowhere |
'Cause you got a right just to get where you’re goin' to |
Gotta keep runnin' gotta be the best |
Gotta walk tall in the wild west |
