lyrics

On the cactus trail the sun can kill without pity
But there's a slower way to die
Try living in one horse city

Outside the run down rodeo
The young would be hero
Tries to outdraw the shadows

He thinks he can catch a bullet in his hands
He thinks he can outspit the rattler in the sand

But can he get out of Americanta

Prairie rose holds a burning cross to the moon
Sets fire to the livewire undertaker
And the cold dead saloon

She is courted by the brave
Cowboys, indians and slaves
But if you tied her to the railroad she wouldn't want to be saved

She impatiently tosses a dime
Where it lands will help her make up her mind

How to get out of Americanta

You better get your sweet ass out of Americanta

You better get your sweet sweet ass out of Americanta

At the Lone Star Hotel the midnight lovers lay down
They shoot it out
On the saddest brass beds in town

And the dreams they give leave to roam
Chase coyotes out in the unknown
Across echo canyon to the twilight zone

Whether pleasure cry or jailhouse moan
Each sings their song of home sour home

In the wasteland heartlands of Americanta

You better get your sweet asses out of Americanta

You better get your sweet sweet asses out of Americanta

Americanta the movie
The last gunslinger gets his last man
Americanta the movie
The last gunslinger dies by his own hand
Americanta
