Intro (x2) verse 1 I heard the walls had fallen down You were running out of town again, my friend The call you’d always thought was best Was the very one that drove you way out West, out West Pre-Chorus But look at you now; this is no man you have been The point on your compass it 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 verse 2 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 at hand And the stars in your eyes raise them high like the calls in the night Pre-Chorus 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 Bridge The Western Expansion is all that you have And the lights from the East can rest x2 But I know 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 Instrumental Aaaaaah x4 Bridge The Western Expansion is all that you have And the lights from the East can rest x3
