Jimmy Davis & Junction: Why the west was won lyrics

Jimmy Davis & Junction

Why the west was won

Last night I slept on an Indian mound

I woke up in a dream from the crying sounds

Of lost children never found

So I broke the chains that held me down

I wonder why the West was won

I wonder why the West was won

I knelt beside the riverbed

And I prayed somehow their lives were spared

Were they asleep when the village bled

Now who can raise them from the dead

I wonder why the West was won

I wonder why the West was won

I rode into the dying sun

And I cursed the gods that gave men guns

Left them blind to what they'd done

Now there's nowhere left to run

I wonder why the West was won

I wonder why the West was won

I wonder why the West was won

I wonder why the West was won
