[Verse]
I was Elooking for America in a western Amovie
Saw a C#myoung gunslinger with something to prAove
I came F#mlooking ... like anybody else
I came C#msearching ... like anybody else
DLooking for that golden Bcalf
And I came Eshooting for the stars like any yAoung blood
Found a C#mfat cat city and a crooked jAudge
I killed F#manything ... standing in my path
I killed C#manything ... till I laid my hands
DLaid 'em on that golden Bcalf
[Chorus]
Now it's our Elast stand in open C#mcountry
This is my lEast chance to be wiC#mth you
This is the Alast dance for thC#mis kind of man
I'm still Alooking for Bsomething to Eprove
[Verse]
I came aroEund full circle, aged like an Aold dog
LC#mooking at them young bucks, just green as fArogs
But I ain't F#mlaying back, no time to laugh
I aint lC#maying back, there's a new kid coming,
DGunning for that golden Bcalf
I was Elooking for America in a western Amovie
Saw C#myoung pike bishop striding through aqua veArde
He was F#mheaded down that dusty path
He was C#mheaded down to that blood bath
DChasing down that golden Bcalf
[Chorus]
Now it's our lEast stand in open cC#mountry
This is my Elast chance to be with C#myou
This is the Alast dance for this C#mkind of man
I'm still lAooking for sBomething to pErove
[Bridge]
But there's aF#mlways someone fG#master
Someone Aquicker on the C#mdraw
SomeF#mbody with a hunger G#mclosing Ain, someone yBounger
Stepping F#mup to be the Anext outBlaw
[Chorus]
Now it's our Elast stand in open C#mcountry
This is my Elast chance to be with C#myou
This is the Alast dance for tC#mhis kind of man
And I'm still Alooking for Bsomething to C#mprove
