Intro
Verse 1
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 callin' 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 'hind my name among the crowd
Chorus
I'm on the last american exit to the north land
I'm on the last american exit to my homeland
I'm on the last american exit to my last chance
They keep callin' out my name, I shout it down
Verse 2
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 face, 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
I'm on the last american exit to the north land
I'm on the last american exit to my homeland
I'm on the last american exit to my last chance
They keep callin' out my name, I shout it down
Bridge
Know your neighbors 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 savior, 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
Outro
I'm on the last american exit to the north land
I'm on the last american exit to my homeland
I'm on the last american exit to my last chance
They keep callin' out my name
They keep callin' out my name
They keep callin' out my name, I shout it down
