Go West
Village People Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Together we will go our way, together we will leave some day.
Together your hand in my hand, together we will make the plans.
Together we will fly so high, together tell our friends goodbye.
Together we will start life new, together this is what we´ll do.

Go west, life is peaceful there.
Go west, lots of open air.
Go west to begin life new.
Go west, this is what we´ll do.
Go west, sun in winter time.
Go west, we will do just fine.
Go west where the skies are blue.
Go west, this and more we´ll do.

Together we will love the beach, together we will learn and teach.
Together change our pace of life, together we will work and strive.
I love you, I know you love me; I want you happy and carefree.
So that´s why I have no protest when you say you want to go west.

Go west, life is peaceful there.
Go west, lots of open air.
Go west to begin life new.
Go west, this is what we´ll do.
Go west, sun in winter time.
Go west, we will do just fine.
Go west where the skies are blue.
Go west, this and more we´ll do.

I know that there are many ways to live there in the sun or shade.
Together we will find a place to settle down and live with the space
without the busy pace back east, the hustling, rustling of the feet,
I know I´m ready to leave too, so this is what we´re going to do,

Go west, life is peaceful there.
Go west, lots of open air.
Go west to begin life new.
Go west, this is what we´ll do.
Go west, sun in winter time.
Go west, we will do just fine.
Go west where the skies are blue.
Go west, this and more we´ll do.





Go west...(repeat & fade)

(Together) we will go our way
(Together) we will leave some day
(Together) your hand in my hand
(Together) we will make our plan

(Together) we will fly so high
(Together) tell all our friends goodbye
(Together) we will start like new
(Together) this is what we'll do

(Go west) life is peaceful there
(Go west) in the open air
(Go west) where the skies are blue
(Go west) this is what we're gonna do

(Together) we will love the beach
(Together) we will learn and teach
(Together) change our pace of life
(Together) we will work and thrive

(I love you) I know you love me
(I want you) how could I disagree?
(And that's why) I make no protest
(And you say) you will do the rest

(Go west) life is peaceful there
(Go west) in the open air
(Go west) baby, you and me
(Go west) this is our destiny
(Go west) Sun and winter time
(Go west) we will do just fine
(Go west) where the skies are blue
(Go west) this is what we're gonna do

There, where the air is free
We'll be (we'll be) what we want to be
Now, if we make a stand
We'll find (we'll find) our promised land!

(I know that) there are many ways
(To live there) in the Sun or shade
(Together) we will find the place
(To settle) where there's so much space

(Don't look back) and the place back east
(Wrestling) wrestling just to feast
(And we'll go) ready to be two
(So that's what) we are gonna do
(Oh, what we're gonna do is)

(Go west) life is peaceful there
(Go west) there, in the open air
(Go west) where the skies are blue
(Go west) this is what we're gonna do

(Life is peaceful there) go west
(In the open air) go west
(Baby, you and me) go west
(This is our destiny) come on, come on, come on, come on

(Go west) Sun and winter time
(Go west) we will feel just fine
(Go west) where the skies are blue
(Go west) this is what we're gonna do

(Come on, come on, come on, come on, go west!)

The funny thing about the Village People is that most people that think about them remember them for the gimmick - a cop, a native American, a construction worker, etc. - and the song YMCA, but what a lot of people tend to forget is just how talented they were. Their music is so well-done, well-performed, and gets your heart pounding, and yet at the same time there's a longing and an emotion behind the lyrics - especially in this song - that make their performances unforgettable. They truly were artists.

It helps to have a great singer; he had such an expressive voice

A lot of people couldn't see beyond the costumes which was seen as a "gay gimmick". However they represented "universal equality". Look deeper the vocal delivery & harmony work is highly impressive.
