- Verse:
-
- Is the struggle and strife,
We find in this life,
Really worth while, after all?
I’ve been wishing today, I could just run away,
Out where the west winds call.
Chorus:
- With some one like you,
a pal good and true,
I'd like to leave it all behind, and go and find,
Some place that's known to God alone,
Just a spot to call our own.
We'll find perfect peace, Where joys never cease,
Out there beneath a kindly sky.
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west,
And let the rest of the world go by.
