Out Where the West Begins
Out where the handclasp's a little
stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little
longer,
That's where the West begins;
Out where the sun is a little brighter,
Where the snows that fall are a trifle
whiter,
Where the bonds of home are a wee
bit tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a trifle bluer,
Out where friendship's a little truer,
That's where the West begins;
Out where a fresher breeze is blowing,
Where there's laughter in every
streamlet flowing,
Where there's more of reaping and
less of sowing,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are
aching,
That's where the West begins;
Where there's more of singing and
less of sighing,
Where there's more of giving and
less of buying,
And a man make friends without
half trying,
That's where the West begins.
