about

written by Tucker Zimmerman

lyrics

They crossed the Atlantic Ocean
The boats were made of wood
They landed on the eastern shore and found the land was good
Most of them settled down

The others pushed on across the Appalachians
Through the wilderness
Some on wagon, some on foot and horses for the rest
Most of them settled down

The others pushed on across the Mississippi
About a mile wide
To face the Great Plains, thirst and hunger, many many died
Yes some got left behind

The others pushed on across the Rocky Mountains
The salt flats of Utah
The wastelands of Nevada and the high Sierras saw
That some got left behind

The others pushed on into California
Those men who knew no rest
The Pacific Ocean stopped the restless movement west
Most of them settled down

The others turned around

Some turned to the south
Down to Mexico
But the people of whose blood I am they said we'll go
And settle Oregon
The people I come from, they settled Oregon
The people I come from
