Go West Songtext
von Camel

It was the very edge of summer
The air was thin, the sky more pale
Dusty roads I remember
Oh, so well

The winds of future blew around us
The owners came to tell their tale
Feelin′ like a piece of paper
In a gale


Go West, go West
Where there's fruit in every place
A smile on every face
Go West, go West
Where there′s work, so I'm told
California's never cold
So, go West

We sold part′ our lives for 18 dollars
Bought a Hudson Super-6
Travelled on down the highway
With no rest

Childhood memories behind us
Grown-up feelings lie ahead
Asked my dad why we′re going
And he said


Go West, Go West
Where there's fruit in every place
A smile on every face
Go West, Go West
Where there′s work, so I'm told
California′s never cold
So, go West
