40 Years

So this is what you’ve left us
A cowboy with a smoking gun
A horse and his companion
Riding alone into the setting sun
A million hearts, a million minds
Have lived and died in 40 years
Pray for yourself and for your memories
And be thankful that we’ve had 40 years
Rounded up in glory
Let the flag never fall
Blowing on the bugle
Out in the desert into these hallowed halls
A million hearts, a million minds
Have lived and died in 40 years
Pray for yourself and for your memories
And be thankful that we’ve had 40 years
Under the volcano
We scheme and dream all in vain
Two legged creatures
Taking a ride on the midnight train
A million hearts, a million minds
Have lived and died in 40 years
Pray for yourself and for your memories
And be thankful that we’ve had 40 years
Ringing bells for freedom
We’ll be wringing our hands someday
Will anyone remember
All the faces that have passed this way
A million hearts, a million minds
Have lived and died in 40 years
Pray for yourself and for your memories
And be thankful that we’ve had 40 years
A million hearts, a million minds
Have lived and died in 40 years
Pray for yourself and for your memories
And be thankful that we’ve had 40 years
A million hearts, a million minds
Have lived and died in 40 years
Pray for yourself and for your memories
And be thankful that we’ve had 40 years
A million hearts, a million minds
Have lived and died in 40 years
Pray for yourself and for your memories
And be thankful that we’ve had 40 years
A million hearts
