about

Had a lot of fun writing and recording this song. I learned a lot too while researching for the lyrics.

lyrics

It was 1862 when Lincoln had a plan. He said, “Go west! Go west young man!

You’ll get a 160 acres of land to do with whatever you can. Just go west! Go west, young man.

Go west, young man and settle that land. Take your family and belongings - pack ‘em up in your covered wagon. And, go west. Go west, young man. You can farm on. Build on it. Raise a herd of cattle, just get out there as fast as you can.

It was named the Homestead Act. It’s the reason why they all packed. To go west. Go west, young man.

You’ll get a 160 acres of land to do with whatever you can. Just go west! Go west, young man.

Go west, young man and settle that land. Take your family and belongings - pack ‘em up in your covered wagon. And, go west.

Go west, young man. You can farm on it. Build on it. Raise a herd of cattle, just get out there as fast as you can.

You can farm on it. Build on it. Raise a herd of cattle.
Just get out there as fast as you can!
