lyrics

Westward man can't see his eyes
He's blinded by the open space
All he sees are endless skies
He doesn't seem to mind the planes

He's a shipwreck, he's a bounced check
He'll cut you down in the muddy street
He's a tin can, he's a fake tan
If you can read his smile, you know you're halfway there

Westward man don't roll the dice
He stacks the cards to his command
Religion is his secret gun
He'll praise whatever god you seek

He's a shipwreck, he's a bounced check
He'll cut you down in the muddy street
He's a tin can, he's a fake tan
If you can read his smile, you know you're halfway there
Goddamn the Westward Man

Westward man is a native son
His family toiled in the land
They were the first, they were the last
Their names are written in the trees

He's a shipwreck, he's a bounced check
He'll cut you down in the muddy street
He's a tin can, he's a fake tan
If you can read his smile, you know you're halfway there
Goddamn the Westward Man
