Lyrics
Go West
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was the very edge of summer
the air was thin the sky more pale
Dusty roads I remember
Oh so well...
The winds of future blew around us
The owners came to tell their tale,
feelin' like a piece of paper
in a gale.
Go West, go West.
where there's fruit in every place
a smile on every face...
Go West, go West...
Where there's work (so I'm told)
California's never cold,
so Go West...
We sold part' our lives
for 18 dollars...
Bought a Hudson Super-6
Travelled on down the highway
with no rest...
Childhood memories behind us
Grown-up feelings lie ahead,
Asked my Dad why we're going
and he said...
Go West, Go West
Where there's fruit in every place
a smile on every face...
Go West, Go West...
Where there's work (so I'm told)
California's never cold... so,
Go West...
