Last American Exit

You know the reasons I can't conceal

You know I'm leaving, you obviously know how I feel

It's not as easy as calling out your name when I'm down

It's not a matter for wrong or right

It ain't much better than drinking and looking to fight

You know I'm tired of crawling behind my name among the crowd

I'm on the last American exit to the northland

I'm on the last American exit to my homeland

I'm on the last American exit to my last dance

They keep calling out my name, I shout it down

They made you wonder and know for sure

You've made them hunger at night then they run for the door

You know you'll probably cry like Caesar's son when you're found

It's not your place it's another town

Let's face it, baby, I'm up and then, baby, I'm down

You'll watch the border offer you fame and watch it drown

I'm on the last American exit to the northland

I'm on the last American exit to my homeland

I'm on the last American exit to my last chance

They keep calling out my name, I shout it down

Know our neighbours and know they'll take us

Know my city it's just like theirs are

Hope I make it, I know I'm going to make it somehow

Know your saviour he knows you shakers

Know my pity I'll see you later

I'd like to stay but I know it doesn't matter somehow

I'm on the last American exit to the northland

I'm on the last American exit to my homeland

I'm on the last American exit to my last dance

They keep calling out my name

They keep calling out my name

They keep calling out my name, I shout it down
