Hal Ketchum - Alamo lyrics

In front of the Alamo In the fading light of the Texas day,San Antonio Through the windshield of a Chevrolet With the front tires pointed out of town She sighs and rolls the window down Counts to three and throws that wedding band In front of the Alamo That's a pretty good place to make a stand In front of the Alamo Where the cameras click and the tourists stare Long, long time ago She met the man in question there She wanted trust, she wanted truth Two things he found hard to do So forever was shorter than she planned In front of the Alamo That's a pretty good place to make a stand She didn't come for inspiration Or to breathe the mighty dust of heroes lost She just felt the time was right At this random traffic light To say, 'Enough is enough' and move on In front of the Alamo In the fading light of the Texas day,San Antonio Through the windshield of a Chevrolet Maybe something in the air Makes the timid braver there To cross the line that they've drawn in the sand In front of the Alamo They held on, she lets go In front of the Alamo That's a pretty good place to make a stand
