Tragically Hip - Last American Exit lyrics

rate me

You know the reasons I can't conceal

You know I'm leaving you obviously know how

I feel

You know I'm tired of crawling 'hind my name

among

The crowd.

It's not a matter of wrong or right

It ain't much better than drinking and looking

to fight

It's not as easy as calling out your name when

I'm down.

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 then 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 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 you 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 make it

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 chance

They keep calling out my name - I shout it

down

They keep callin out my name

They keep callin out my name

They keep callin out my name

I shout it down.
