Willie Nelson - Last Stand in Open Country Lyrics

Lyrics Last Stand in Open Country - Willie Nelson



I was looking for America in a western movie
Saw a young gun slinger with something to prove
And I came lookin′ like anybody else
I came searchin' like anybody else
Lookin′ for that golden calf
And I came shooting for the stars like any young blood
I found a fat cat city and a crooked judge
I killed anything standing in my path
I killed anything 'til I laid my hands
Laid 'em on that golden calf
Now it′s our last stand in open country
This is my last chance to be with you
This is the last dance, oh, for this kind of man
I′m still lookin' for something to prove
I come around full circle, aged like an old dog
Lookin′ at them young bucks just green as frogs
But iIain't layin′ back, no time to laugh
I ain't layin′ back
There's a new kin comin'
Gunning for that golden calf
And I was looking for America in a western movie
I saw Pike Bishop stridin′ through Agua Verde
He was headed down that dusty path
Headed down to that blood bath
Chasin′ down that golden calf
Now it's our last stand in open country (in open country)
This is my last chance to be with you (ooh, to be with ya)
This is the last dance, oh, for this kind of man
And I′m still lookin' for something to prove
But there′s always someone faster
Yeah, someone quicker on the draw
Someone with a hunger closin' in
Someone younger steppin′ up to be
The next outlaw
Now it's our last stand in open country
And this is my last chance to be with you
This is the last dance, oh, for this kind of man
And I'm still lookin′ for something to prove
And I′m still lookin' for something to prove
This is our last stand in open country (in open country)
Last stand in open country (no-ooh)
This is our last stand in open country (oh, this is our last stand)
This is our last stand
Last stand
Last stand
Last stand
