Eagles - The Last Resort Lyrics

Send "The Last Resort" ringtone to your cell

She came from Providence - [the] one in Rhode Island

Where the Old World shadows hang heavy in the air

She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee

Just as her father came across the sea

She heard about a place - people were smiling

They spoke about the Red Man's ways and how they loved the land

They came from everywhere to the Great Divide

Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide

Down in the crowed bars; out for a good time

Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there

They called it Paradise - I don't know why

Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down across the desert

Through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu

Where the pretty people play hungry for power

To light their neon way - give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land - nobody caught 'em

Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and Jesus People bought 'em

They called it Paradise - the place to be

They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina

Just like the missionaries did so many years ago

They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus Is Coming"

Brought the White Man's burden down - brought the White Man's rein

Who will provide the Grand Design: what is yours and what is mine

There is no more new frontier - we have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds

In the name of destiny - and in the name of God

And you can see them there on Sunday morning

Stand up and sing about what it's like up there

They call it Paradise - I don't know why

You call someplace Paradise - kiss it goodbye
