Western Expansion Songtext
von Jared & the Mill

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

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 off 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 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

But I heard there's gold out West
In the sky where the sun makes its rest
Clear your throat and take off 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

But I heard there′s gold out west
In the sky where the sun makes its rest
Clear your throat and take off your coat, yeah, you′ve always known best
Yeah, you've always known best

Ah, ah
Ah, ah

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

The Western expansion is all that you have
And the lights from the East can rest
