The Legend of Davy Crockett

[Intro] “You can all go to hell; I will go to Texas.” [Instrument Solo] [Verse 1] Born in the backwoods, August '86, A young boy with a hunter's fix, Learned the land, the stars, the skies, Raised by the wild, with frontier eyes. (American Pride) Worked the fields, and trapped for game, A rugged life, no fortune or fame, But a fire burned in his soul, To carve his name on history’s scroll. (a real man takes control) [Chorus] Davy, Davy Crockett, a legend in his time, From the hills of Tennessee, to the Alamo’s battle cries. [Verse 2] Joined the fight in the Creek War fray, Courage found in battles gray, A soldier’s heart, a warrior’s might, Defending freedom, day and night. (rest when you're dead) Fought with Jackson, side by side, Through victory and bloody tide, Earned respect, a leader born, Blood on his shoulder proudly worn, (charge the ramparts!) [Chorus] Davy, Davy Crockett, a legend in his time, From the hills of Tennessee, to the Alamo’s battle cries. [Verse 3] In the halls of power, he took a stand, For the common folk, across the land, Fought against the unjust laws, With a pioneer’s spirit, and a lion’s claws. (Timber Toe!) Spoke out loud, against Jackson’s plan, Indian Removal, a cruel demand, Stood for justice, stood for right, A beacon in the darkest night. (know you're right, then do it) [Chorus] Davy, Davy Crockett, a legend in his time, From the hills of Tennessee, to the Alamo’s battle cries. [Break] [Instrument Solo] [Interlude] [Bridge] Left for Texas, a land so new, Dreams of freedom in skies so blue, A new frontier, a fresh, bold start, With the same old courage in his heart. Joined the fight for Texas’ claim, Against tyranny’s burning flame, Sought adventure, sought his path, In the wild land to meet his match, [guitar riff] [Verse 4] At the Alamo, his final stand, A fight for freedom, for this brave land, Though he fell, his legend grew, A hero’s tale, forever true. (Remember the Alamo!) With Bowie and the Headless Horseman, he took his place, In history’s book, a statement made, Though they lost, their spirits high, For liberty, they’d live and die. (Into the night our soldiers ride!) [Outro: Legacy] Davy’s gone, but his spirit stays, In the heart of freedom, through the days, From birth to death, he showed the way, A hero’s legacy, here to stay. The frontier’s call, echoes still, In every heart, in every hill, From the past, his voice rings clear, A hero’s name, for eternity. [FADE OUT] [Hopeful Bridge] Left for Texas, a land so new, Dreams of freedom in skies so blue, A new frontier, a fresh, bold start, With the same old courage in his heart. (For America!) Joined the fight for Texas’ claim, Against tyranny’s burning flame, Sought adventure, sought his path, Against Santa Anna to meet his match, (Never back down) [Guitar Riff] [Climax] [Final Verse] At the Alamo, his final stand, A fight for freedom, for this brave land, Though he fell, his legend grew, A hero’s tale, forever true. (Remember the Alamo!) With America's heroes, he took his place, In history’s scroll, his statement made, Though they lost, their spirits high, For liberty, they’d live and die. [calming guitar solo] [Coda] Davy’s gone, but his spirit stays, In the heart of freedom, through the days, From birth to death, he showed the way, A hero’s legacy, here to stay. [END]
