Made Example Of
Hard times, we left them back East
And the future moves under our feet
We are westward bound
Old ways won't follow us there,
New names we'll make for ourselves
In some western town
Trials may visit our trail,
But we're so stubborn we know we can't fail
We are westward bound
Danger may well be ahead,
But we're moving, we'll rest when we're dead
We are westward bound
I realize that youth is wasted on the young
Oh, I know that I have wasted more than some
But idealism is the air that fills my lungs
Oh, I know that now my wasting days are done
