Living "out West" as I do, it's a common enough phrase (and I meant it as "you will").
Looking it up, though, it's not something unique to the Western US - Webster has its first recorded use as 1584. I only wish they had printed where it was first used!
If you haven't noticed, it's quite easy to get me "off topic" - which is why I often have to remind myself to get back on track!
