Joe Jackson - Wild West текст песни

Out to the west theres a trail that leads somewhere

And a call of the wild that takes some people there

Through monument valley to california sun

From new amsterdam to the way the west was won

Well years will go by when you wont get nowhere

Youre cold and youre tired and youre free and you dont care

You keep pushin on when your friends keep turning back

You keep building towns and laying railroad track

And things get crazy and you have to use that sun

And you wonder if this is the way the west is won

But keep thinkin that way and you wont get nowhere

cause you got a right just to get where youre goin to

Gotta keep runnin gotta be the best

Gotta walk tall in the wild west

You keep on the move or you try to settle down

And theres strangers from further and further away in town

And you give them some tools and they know what must be done

And you know the west was won

And they say . . .

Where I come from, you cant get nowhere

Im breaking my back for some opportunity

Making my fortune and Ill take it all home

Tell my kids about the wild west

And theres still beauty as the flowers bloom on desert sands

And theres still hope as the sun rises over the rio grande

But its so crowded now and nothings simple anymore

And theyre still knocking at your door

You hear guns in the night and you hope theyre not for you

cause a dog eats a dog then he eats his master too

In the land of the free and the not so often brave

Theres both love or money now choose which you will save

But . . . keep thinkin that way and you wont get nowhere

cause you got a right just to get where youre goin to

Gotta keep runnin gotta be the best

Gotta walk tall in the wild west
