~~
Mr. Merry cries in his coffin
For days he says he can remember
And through the town the pallbearers
sing old songs
Of a beautiful purple mountain
From every walk of life we've come to
see the Last Great American

May I now present you the speaker,
"Friends he was a man of men, a man of
gold...
He had a how do you say, ethical-like
sense"
That's when the Prezident started to
giggle
Then the children gave the blessing
Though the service weren't half done
Each of them sued the other one
For the Last Great American

Merry reaches up, we bow our heads
He pulls the lid on down and his stone
is read

Here lies our Merry
The man with the heart so spent
That in this day and age
Is sick of living

And judges argue letters
Fabric comes undone
For every daughter every son
Of the Last Great American...

For every daughter every son
Of the Last Great American...

Thanks for sharing a great song,

May we not ask for God to be on our side, but to try to be on God's side.

Five For Fighting is my favorite artist. America Town was the first CD I ever bought and have been a loyal fan ever since.

This song remains my favorite song.

For other fans of this song: try finding the version on Message for Albert -- it's amazing.

I had to listen to this song a few times to get what it was really talking about, but now that I got a better idea, I love it.

This just might be the best Five For Fighting song. I bought the American Town CD for Superman but its still one of my top 5 CDs after all these years because of this song.
