The West Will Truly Be Won: From Cowboy Poetry Western Book

The West Will Truly Be Won, from cowboy poetry western book by western author Stephen Bly

The West Will Truly Be Won (from When The Cowboys Come To Town, a cowboy poetry western book)

When the world came West in ’49,
it was called the promised land.
Big and wild and open and free,
room for all to make their stand.

They say it was gold that stirred their bones
and caused the masses to move.
I reckon it was somethin’ deeper than that
and it ain’t that hard to prove.

Folks is born with a restless twitch,
that pushes them to succeed or fail.
To climb this mountain in front of them,
or saunter on down the next trail.

It’s an inherited hankerin’ it seems to me,
passed down all the way from Day One.
Souls searchin’ for the garden we lost long ago
When this earth had barely begun.

A haven for our spirit is what we lack,
why our stones don’t gather no moss.
In our hearts we know there’s a place up ahead
nailed down by His work on the cross.

There’s a Promised Land waitin’ way up above,
For those who follow the Son.
Where our restless spirit will find home at last,
and the West will truly be won.
