Last American Exit - The Tragically Hip
>From THE TRAGICALLY HIP EP, 1987
/
You know the reasons I can't conceal
/
You know I'm leaving you obviously you 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 'hing my name among the crowd
CHORUS:
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
You've made them wonder and know for sure
you've made them hunger at night and then 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 you drown
CHORUS
/
Know your neighbours and know they'll take us
/
Know my city it's just like theirs are
Hope I make it I know I'm gonna make it somehow
Know my 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
They keep callin out my name
they keep callin out my name
they keep callin out my name
I shout it down
