Go West

Born and raised under strong oaks And just like them I grew Tough and brave, there east of west strong roots and gospel truth Always looking west and dreaming Then dreams became the truth Traded in my rolling hills For the western range that shook Go west they say Make your own way Sunsets are nice Things aren't what they seem California dreaming of my Texas hill country Oh pacific sure is lovely But she's cold, misunderstood Friends say they'll stick around All leave, no second look They say I've made it to the top Life gets lonely from this high What I'd give to be back home To freedom, and clear skies Go west they say Make your own way Sunsets are nice Things aren't what they seem California dreaming of my Texas hill country Oh where do I belong This is my drifter's song Go west they say Make your own way Sunsets are nice Things aren't what they seem California dreaming You can't go home You're made to roam Sunsets are nice Things aren't what they seem California dreaming of my Texas hill country
