Ha Ha Tonka - Westward Bound lyrics

Hard times, we left them back East And the future moves under our feet We are westward bound Old ways won't follow us there, New names we'll make for ourselves In some western town Trials may visit our trail, But we're so stubborn we know we can't fail We are westward bound Danger may well be ahead, But we're moving, we'll rest when we're dead We are westward bound I realize that youth is wasted on the young Oh, I know that I have wasted more than some But idealism is the air that fills my lungs Oh, I know that now my wasting days are done
