Remember the Alamo

The tumbleweed travels the wilds of West Texas
It's free as the wind and it's always alone
And it rolls through the cities
Like no one had built them
Nothing that's built is a tumbleweed’s home
I hear there are folks who sing national anthems
That pledge them forever to kings and to queens
Here there ain't no king
We only got country and desert and nuts
And the old tumbleweed

Remember the Alamo
Defend the Alamo
Remember the brave who died for an idea
Remember the Alamo
Defend the Alamo
Remember the things that happened right here

There was Crockett and Bowie
And a hundred-odd others
Who wouldn't make parlay, surrender, or flee
They fired their cannon
And General Santa Anna dug in at the mission for their liberty
And them in the north that had their revolution
In pretty words written and overboard tea
In Texas they died in the dust
And they cried out in death to the people to fight tyranny

Remember the Alamo
Defend the Alamo
Remember the brave who died for an idea
Remember the Alamo
Defend the Alamo
Remember the things that happened right here

There's a line in the sand, there's a line in the sand
There's a line in the sand
There's a line in the sand, there's a line in the sand
There's a line in the sand
There's a line in the sand, there's a line in the sand
There's a line in the sand
There's a line in the sand, there's a line in the sand
There's a line in the sand
