Going West !

Going West!

I was looking up ahead,
seeing where the horses lead,
this wagon in a big train,
up ahead pulls the main...

wagon of this huge line,
the one in the middle is mine.
A new life, I'm going out west,
going across country is a test.

Children are riding in the rear,
in hopes that they'll be safe here,
always watching front to back,
ever mindful of an attack.

Going out west to a new land,
staking our claim, making a stand,
this is where we'll make a start,
an oppertunity God did impart.

Oh my! We're almost there,
I'm smelling the roses where...
in my front yard where they'll be,
for the neighbor's and all to see.
