Pushing West

you can spend your time on warmer schemes
things searched for and what they mean
a change in horizons, west it seems
a climate that always suited your dreams

a cowboy without mountain peaks
passion pushing what you seek
now it's all laying at your feet
the flavor of victory that you seek

bury all those unpleasant sorrows
plant your heart in arid tomorrows
nourish it, let it thrive and grow
love shines honest in the valley below
