[Chorus]
Hard times, we left 'em back East
And the future moves under our feet
We are westward bound
[Verse]
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
[Bridge]
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 our lungs
Oh, I know that now our wasting days are done
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
[Chorus]
Hard times, we left 'em back East
And the future moves under our feet
We are westward bound
Hard times, we left 'em back East
And the future moves under our feet
We are westward bound
Hard times, we left 'em back East
And the future moves under our feet
We are westward bound
