Lyrics of The Last Resort - 2013 Remaster by Eagles
verse
She came from Providence
One in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
Heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
Like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
verse
She heard about a place
People were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way
And how they loved the land
verse
And they came from everywhere
To the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
Or a place to hide
verse
Down in the crowded bars
Out for a good time
Can't wait to tell you all
What it's like up there
verse
And they called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
While the town got high
verse
Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
Through the canyons of the coast
To the Malibu
verse
Where the pretty people play
Hungry for power
To light their neon way
Give them things to do
verse
Some rich men came and raped the land
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes
And Jesus people bought 'em
verse
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun
Sinking in the sea
verse
You can leave it all behind
Sail to Lahaina
Just like the missionaries did
So many years ago
verse
They even brought a neon sign
"Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign
verse
Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here
verse
We satisfy our endless needs
And justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny
And in the name of God
verse
And you can see them there
On Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about
What it's like up there
verse
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise
Kiss it goodbye
Writer(s): Glenn Lewis Frey, Donald Hugh Henley
