Eugene Oregon (Manifest Destiny) - Jayber Crow[00:00:00]

I've yet to make it out[00:00:00]

To Eugene Oregon[00:00:03]

I'm thinkin' of heading there soon[00:00:05]

Get closer to the coast[00:00:11]

Of the Pacific Ocean[00:00:13]

Far from what I'm used to[00:00:17]

My friends have traveled West[00:00:22]

Across the continent[00:00:25]

In search of a better life[00:00:28]

Just like Lewis Clark[00:00:33]

At the request of Jefferson[00:00:36]

Assessed what they could find[00:00:40]

La la la la la[00:00:45]

And all the stories that we tell[00:01:07]

To move us forward[00:01:10]

We learn them when we are young[00:01:12]

So that life becomes a race[00:01:18]

Where you can't look backward[00:01:21]

The best is still yet to come[00:01:24]

And our lives are on a course[00:01:30]

Of Manifest Destiny[00:01:33]

To cover all the miles that we can[00:01:36]

So we formed a modern ranks of[00:01:41]

The Corps of Discovery[00:01:44]

Marchin' out over the land[00:01:47]

La la la la la[00:01:53]

And we ripen like fruit[00:02:15]

Sucking nutrients[00:02:18]

And waitin' for our stems to break[00:02:21]

So we can fall from the tree[00:02:25]

Sweet with indifference[00:02:29]

And sit there for someone to take[00:02:31]

So go ahead and pull the plug[00:02:36]

And drain the conutryside[00:02:40]

And rob small towns of their youth[00:02:42]

Oh pack them up and ship them out[00:02:47]

To someplace far away[00:02:51]

And tell them it's the best they can do[00:02:54]

La la la la la[00:02:59]

Yes and I am moving soon[00:03:20]

To Minnesota[00:03:23]

From Indiana home[00:03:25]

Tell my friends and family[00:03:30]

It nice to know you[00:03:33]

It's time to get out on my own[00:03:36]

And I will move on from here in the[00:03:40]

Name of progress[00:03:44]

Reaching for the setting sun[00:03:46]

Will consume my every care[00:03:51]

Never stop and never rest[00:03:54]

And never say that I am done[00:03:56]

La la la la la[00:04:02]

La la la la la[00:04:22]

Yes and I will make it out[00:04:42]

To Eugene Oregon[00:04:45]

And on to the Pacific coast[00:04:47]

And I will step to the edge[00:04:53]

And touch the ocean[00:04:56]

And that's about as far as you can go[00:04:59]

And I will have to turn around[00:05:04]

My back to the Western sky[00:05:07]

Shiv'ring wet and alone[00:05:11]

And I will see my footsteps[00:05:15]

Stretch back eastward[00:05:19]

Take a breath and follow them home[00:05:21]

Follow them home[00:05:26]
