Lyrics

Dusty roads that have no name
That lead you back from where you came
Your boots are worn, your mouth is dry
A clunking t-bird rattles by
You know your heart's still beating in your chest
You know you gave it all and tried your best

The western sky is scorched and red
The earth is parched, the trees are dead
You hear a voice that whispers low
It's a voice that's strange, but a voice you know
It tells you that there's more to be done
It's like the tale of how the west was won

Chorus:
But you curse it all and you throw it away
You shake your fists in a threatening way
And you fall to your knees but you don't know what to say
Is this how the west was won?

You remember the stories your grandfather told
You remember that spy who came in from the cold
And a thousand tears they manifest
A guilty conscience knows what's best
But you fling it all aside and grab your gun
You'll show those bastards how the west was won

Chorus

Final chorus:
So you throw back your head and you shout from the hills
A man who lives is a man who kills
And you rise to your feet and you enforce your will
This is how the west was won
