Spirit Of The West

they came and sang

in a bar

so long ago

their energy, their songs

touched my soul

and made me sing and dance

out loud...and proud

long live

The Spirit of the West

hopefully the kettle will always be on the boil

I'll see you tonight , I'll buy the next round

because everything between you and me.... is not political

we don't have to keep up with the Jones

because more than anything

for this old sod

we are the people of the frozen north

keep singing... let your energy flow
