Lyrics

[DALLAS] First they beat us down One after another Keep losing ground Nowhere to take cover They want us out of town Then who would they beat on? Who would they spit on? Who would they blame it on If we weren't around? Now, we're never going back Everything is lost And we'll never get it back 'Cause a line's been crossed Little brother Sorry I failed you I could not save you No I can't even save myself Little brother They cannot hurt you anymorе And they cannot take anymore from mе If I ain't got you Then I ain't got nothin' else If anything was fair You would still be here Does anybody care When a Greaser disappears? We're never going back Everything is lost And we'll never get it back Cause a line's been crossed [ENSEMBLE] Little brother [DALLAS] Little brother [ENSEMBLE] Sorry I failed you [DALLAS] Sorry I failed you [ENSEMBLE] I could not save you [DALLAS] I could not save you [DALLAS & ENSEMBLE] No I can't even save myself Little brother [ENSEMBLE] They can not hurt you anymore [DALLAS] They can not hurt you anymore [ENSEMBLE] They can not take [DALLAS & ENSEMBLE] Any more from me [ENSEMBLE] If I ain't got you [DALLAS] If I ain't got you [DALLAS & ENSEMBLE] Then I ain't got nothin' else [ENSEMBLE] If I ain't got you [DALLAS & ENSEMBLE] Oh, then I ain't got nothin' else [DALLAS] There's only one way out I finally see that now They took the only thing that mattered to me anyhow That's why I'm standing here No good to run away That's all I ever done but now's the time for me to stay Do it for all of us The faces in the crowd And when they try to shut you up, then scream it twice as loud Do it for Cool Hand Luke Do it for Jesse James Do it for all the unsung heroes, you don't know their names Do it for Ponyboy Do it for Johnny Cade Don't leave a stone unturned Don't leave a debt unpaid Johnny, I am coming home 'Bout to take my final bow Hope you saved a seat for me Johnny, can you see me now?
