From the recording STONE COLD COUNTRY
Lyrics
HOW THE WEST WAS WON
There’s glory
in the story how the west was won
Herdin’ cattle
in the saddle
Till the workdays done
Drinkin’ whiskey
Sleeping with your boots on
Just to do it all again with the rising sun
That’s how the west was won
Crossing every river
Take ‘em as they come
No trails
A place we’ve never been
Undiscovered country
The dream of every man
That’s how- that’s how the west was won
Just old fashioned
True passion’s how her love was won
Rode into town
Stood my ground
I stuck to my guns
I crossed miles
Dusty, bruised and weary
To fight for her with everything that’s in me
That’s how the west was won
Crossing every river
Take ‘em as they come
No trails
A place we’ve never been
Undiscovered country
The dream of every man
That’s how- that’s how the west was won
Where love will lead
No one is ever certain
Just gotta saddle up
And dig your spurs in
...And you don’t give up
That’s how the west was won
Crossing raging rivers
Take ‘em as they come
No trails
A place we’ve never been
Undiscovered country
The dream of every man
That’s how- that’s how the west was won
Oh whoa, whoa
That’s how- that’s how the west was won
