I heard the walls had fallen down
You were running out of town again, my friend
The call you always thought was best
Was the one that drove you way out West, out West
But look at you now; this is no man you have been
The point on your compass leads you farther still, (?) to the sea you have been sent (?)
But I heard there's gold out west
In the sky where the sun makes its rest
Clear your throat and take of your coat, you've always known best

The western expansion is all that you have
And a fire in your soul has been driving you mad
A life on the coast is a thing you can boast my friend
The sea moves regardless the waves always stand
(?) And the fires on the coast keep your heart close to hand (?)
And stars in your eyes, raise them high like the coals (calls?) in the night
But look at you now; the past couldn't tell who you are
Your home may seem so far away to you, but man home is in your heart (harse? Idk)
But I heard there's gold out west
In the sky where the sun makes its rest
Clear your throat and take of your coat, you've always known best

The western expansion is all that you have
And the lights from the east can rest
The western expansion is all that you have
And the lights from the east can rest

Clear your throat and take of your coat, yeah you've always known best
