LAST STAND
~~~~~~~~~~
AI used to be the old John Wayne
DAnd fight the good fight once again
AYou find the strength to bear the pain
EStand up to the final E7fall
ANow it's not just movie time
DNow it's you that's on the line
ANow it's you that's gonna find
EIf you can stand it E7all
GSo you circle all the Awagons
GAnd you hide behind the Dtrees
GTry to find your Acourage on your Dknees
When you Gheard the sound of Ataps played
GBy the one man marching Dband
You knew Gthis is where you'd Ahave to make your
EmLast DStand
Baby, baby it's the last stand
The last song from the last band
The last note from the last man
You give it all you can
The cards came down to the last deal
The starvin' man in his last meal
The movie's down to the last reel
With an ending you never planned
You left me now, or so it seems
Tumblin' down that last dream
Findin' out that the final dream
Can disappear so fast
Watch it all just fade away
Comin' down to the last day
The last out, the last play
You're alone at last
So you circle all the wagons
And you hide behind the trees
Try to find your courage on your knees
When you heard the sound of taps played
By the one man marching band
You knew this is where you'd have to make your
Last Stand
Baby it's the last stand
Baby it's the last stand
It's the last stand
Baby it's the last stand
Baby it's the last stand
Baby it's the last stand
