He stands like a tower
Precision in his hands
On a lonesome trail
In far off lands
He sang of Rosalie
He had a bad reputation
And hey the boys are back in town
And on the night he died
I thought I heard the angels cry
Take these wings and fly
Set fire to the sky
Just a satellite
On a one way flight
He was the last of the young guns
Just a soldier of fortune
On a noble fight
Turn the tv off
Its so dull tonight
And all the stars fall from the sky
As our music heros die
And no one seems to care
All those stars fell to the ground
When he went down in Chinatown
Take these wings and fly
Set fire to the sky
Just a satellite
On a solo flight
He was the last of the young guns
He"s headed southbound
Hell yeh
With johnny the fox
Get out of here
The boys are back in town
Waiting for an alibi
I am just a cowboy
The last of the young guns
