lyrics

The man with the hat
At the station
And those three harmonica notes
Under the brim there’s
Unfinished business
And the sound of him clearing his throat
No more visitors here
No more trade
Keep your hands near your pocket
And look him in the eye
Board the last train back to Kansas
You’re not welcome here

(Chorus)
Concede to the landed auctioneer
Yield to the fraudulent cashier
The last frontier

In the back of the saloon there’s
Five people waiting
For the next mark to come through the door
Whiskey in their glasses and
Cards in their hands
They’ve seen it all and done it before
One more space in the game
One more play
With your eyes fixed on the table
And the rest on your back
Only one person is leaving
You’re not welcome here

On the other side of main street
The undertaker
Measures out the last coffin lid
Because you vowed to return to the
Scene of the crime
To undo what your fore-bearer did
He wanted more of a share
To meet halfway
But the avarice of freedom
Made them steal from the tribe
Scalped without a reason
You’re not welcome here
