Opening The West - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
And the shining Rocky Mountains looked down on the people coming[00:00:00]
Strong and sturdy freedom loving settlers cowboys pioneers[00:00:04]
Now no foreign crown would rule them[00:00:09]
Now a nation strong was standing even bigger was it growing[00:00:11]
Added Iowa Wisconsin then broke through the shining mountains[00:00:14]
Staked a claim on California[00:00:18]
Panned the gold out of its rivers irrigated desert valleys[00:00:20]
Oregon Minnesota Kansas now were added to the total[00:00:25]
Making 34 to number of the States now in the Union[00:00:29]
And the years 1860 to 65 the history books're full of it[00:00:35]
The sadness the heartbreak and the songs of that period[00:00:42]
Tell us of a sadness and of a heartbreak when the nation was torn asunder[00:00:49]
