Last Stand In Open Country Lyrics - The Great Divide - 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 crooked judge 

i killed anything standing in my path 

i killed anything till i laid my hands 

laid' em on the golden calf 

now it's our last sand in open country 

this is my last chance to be with you 

this is the last dance for this kind of man 

i'm still lookin' for somthing to prove

i come around full circle, aged like an old dog 

lookin' at them young bucks just green as frogs 

but i ain't layin' back no time to laugh 

i ain't layin' back 

there's new kids a comin gunning for that golden calf 

i was was looking for America in a western movie 

i saw pike bishop stridin' through aqua verde 

he was headin down that dusty path 

headin down that blood path 

runnin from his crooked past 

hes lookin for another life 

sick of chasin' down that golden calf 

repeat but theres always someone faster 

someone quicker on the draw 

someone with a hunger closin' in 

some younger steppin up to be 

the next out law 

Photos 

repeat oh i'm still looking for something to prove 

this is our last stand... 

this is our last stand... 

this is our last stand... 

this is our last stand...
