My Manifest Destiny

Like a trail of clouds Along a dusty sea I see the wagons rolling Manifest destiny The people heading west To make some land their home But those who know it best Know it's best just to roam Chorus: Bb d This country's beauty Is much too great For just 40 acres and a mule I have no hearth Across this earth But on these great plains I'm in my home The federals now claim it Natives did once too Me I never cared much What land belonged to who I drink when I see water I sit down where there's shade It ain't much but I'll tell you now My life I wouldn't trade We faced the dangers The heat and cold Not the kind of life to live If you want to grow old I love the sights I've seen But not enough to stay I will keep on heading west Its the American way
