West For America
WEST FOR AMERICA

VERSE
Roll up your bedrolls, shoulder your guns
Let the journey begin
Give me your strong
Give me your brave
Give me your thirty best men
CHORUS
And we’ll go West For America
Follow the sun on that Northwest Passage to the sea
We’ll go West For America
God’s chosen ones and claim all this land for you and me
VERSE
Say your prayers and bid farewell
In the morning we’ll rise
Man our oars, cast off from shore
And leave St. Louis behind
CHORUS (Repeat)
BRIDGE
We’ll go where no white man has ever gone
See things he’s never seen
On our shoulders we will carry the weight of a nation’s hopes and dreams
Roll up your bedrolls, shoulder your guns, let the journey begin
CHORUS (Repeat)
