[Chorus]
G
Hard times, we left 'em back East
        C
And the future moves under our feet
                G
We are westward bound


[Verse]
G
Old ways won’t follow us there
C
New names we’ll make for ourselves
                G
In some western town

G
Trials may visit our trail
          C
But we’re so stubborn we know we can’t fail
                G
We are westward bound

G C G C

G
Danger may well be ahead
          C
But we’re moving, we’ll rest when we’re dead
                G
We are westward bound

[Bridge]
G                                     C
I realize that youth is wasted on the young
G                                        C
Oh, I know that I have wasted more than some

    G                                  C
But idealism is the air that fills our lungs
G                                       C
Oh, I know that now our wasting days are done

G                                     C
I realize that youth is wasted on the young
G                                       C
Oh, I know that I have wasted more than some

    G                                  C
But idealism is the air that fills my lungs
G                                       C
Oh, I know that now my wasting days are done

We are westward bound
