Remember the Alamo! - The Indelicates

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
