Showdown at Big Sky Songtext
von Robbie Robertson

Soldier of fortune
He′s a man of war
Just can't remember
What he′s fighting for
Start a revolution
Right before your eyes
When you hear the big bang
Don't you be surprised

Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Showdown at big sky
That day may be soon

And people, people
Can you hear the sound
From every village and every town
Let the bells ring out (ring those bells)
Hear the bells ring in
Let the bells ring out (everybody)
Keep them ringing, ringing


Can't predict the future
Can′t forget the past
Feels like any moment
Could be the last
All you believers
Standing inside this room
Can′t you see it coming
Shooting out across the moon

Save this place
- In the valley of tears
- By the river of time
From weapons race
- In the Book of David
- In the holy night
When it's laid to waste
- It will be written
- By the children of Eden
I said save this place
- And the Holy Ghost

Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Showdown at big sky
That day may be soon


And people, people
Can you hear the sound
From every village and every town
Let the bells ring out (ring those bells)
Hear the bells ring in (ring those bells)
Let the bells ring out (everybody)
Keep them ringing, ringing

Save this place
- In the valley of tears
- By the river of time
From weapons race
- In the Book of David
- In the holy night
When it′s laid to waste
- It will be written
- By the children of Eden
I said save this place
- And the Holy Ghost
- And the Holy Ghost

Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Kiss tomorrow goodbye
And that day could be soon

Give us the strength
Give us the wisdom
And give us tomorrow

Let the bells ring out (ring those bells)
Hear the bells ring in
Let the bells ring out (oh those people)
Keep them ringing, ringing (ring those bells)
Let the bells ring out (ring out)
Hear the bells ring in (ring in)
Let the bells ring out (oh those people)
Keep them ringing, ringing (ring those bells)
Let the bells ring out
Hear the bells ring in
Let the bells ring out
Keep them ringing, ringing
