You keep pushin' on when your friends keep turning back

You keep on the move or you try to settle down
G+G Cm6/G G+G
And there's strangers from further and further away in town

And you give them some tools and they know what must be done
G+G Cm6/G G+G
And you know who's the boss and you know the west was won
BRIDGE

And they say: Where I come from, you can't get nowhere

You hear guns in the night and you hope they're not for you
