《Opening The West》歌词

[00:00:00] Opening The West - Johnny Cash

[00:00:00] And the shining Rocky Mountains looked down on the people coming

[00:00:04] Strong and sturdy freedom loving settlers cowboys pioneers

[00:00:09] Now no foreign crown would rule them

[00:00:11] Now a nation strong was standing even bigger was it growing

[00:00:14] Added Iowa Wisconsin then broke through the shining mountains

[00:00:18] Staked a claim on California

[00:00:20] Panned the gold out of its rivers irrigated desert valleys

[00:00:25] Oregon Minnesota Kansas now were added to the total

[00:00:29] Making 34 to number of the States now in the Union

[00:00:35] And the years 1860 to 65 the history books're full of it

[00:00:42] The sadness the heartbreak and the songs of that period

[00:00:49] Tell us of a sadness and of a heartbreak when the nation was torn asunder
