[Verse 1] You wear your boots and lace 'em tight Ride the plains under neon lights You can't fake it no you can't try The west is calling under that sky [Chorus] You can't be a westerner without loving the red white and blue Can't be a westerner without holding on to what's true The desert speaks the mountains call The heart of the west beats for us all [Verse 2] Dusty roads and high-tech dreams The old meets new in endless streams A robot's click a cowboy's flair Out here we're different but we care [Chorus] You can't be a westerner without loving the red white and blue Can't be a westerner without holding on to what's true The desert speaks the mountains call The heart of the west beats for us all [Bridge] Neon hoedowns under the stars Mechanical bulls and flying cars Tradition waltzes with something wild The west grows up but keeps its child [Chorus] You can't be a westerner without loving the red white and blue Can't be a westerner without holding on to what's true The desert speaks the mountains call The heart of the west beats for us all
