Ian Whitcomb & His Bungalow Boys let the rest of the world go by

Is the struggle and strife
Which we find in this life
Really worthwhile after all?
I've been wishing today
We could just run away
Out where the west wind goes
With someone like you
A pal good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind
And go and find
Some place that's known
To God alone
Just a spot to call our own
We'll find perfect peace
Where joys never cease
Out there beneath a kindly sky
We'll build a sweet little nest
Somewhere in the west
And let the rest of the world go by.
We'll find perfect peace
Where joys never cease
Out there beneath a kindly sky
We'll build a sweet little nest
Somewhere in the west
And let the rest of the world go by.
