Eagles - The Last Resort Lyrics
She came from Providence
One in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
Heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
Just as her father came
Across the sea
She heard about a place
People were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way
How they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
To the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
Down in the crowded bars
Out for a good time
Can't wait to tell you all
What it's like up there
They called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
While the town got high
Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
Through the canyons of the coast
To the Malibu
Where the pretty people play
Hungry for power
To light their neon way
Give them things to do
Some rich men came and raped the land
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes
And Jesus people bought 'em
They called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun
Sinking in the sea
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign
Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs
And justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny
And in the name of God
And you can see them there
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
What it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise
Kiss it goodbye

Eagles The Last Resort Comments
Thank you for these beautiful pictures and unique connections in"The Last Resort." I am a dedicated environmentalist for many years, and I am delighted to see others who would like to help spread the message of love for Mother Earth and all living things. I think that everything is connected, that is why we get back what we are doing, right, in the head again.
The Eagles, "The Last Resort," I am moved to tears by their unique interpretations, class guitar play, and voices that melt together. My wife and I were so lucky to be at Hjallerup Enge 2011, Denmark. Where - The Eagles - played. They laid out with acapella; it rippled 'all the way' to my feet, so unforgettable and experience, Thanks Eagles.
I am happy that YOU are spending time and sharing such beautiful things. Loving Light Cliff Denmark.
February 2020 still one of the best songs of all time ❤️
I'm speechless, even today,
***Spoke About The RED MEN, How They LOVE The LAND***************
Like When GOD Told Moses : “ The Land YOU Are Stepping In, ‘IS SACRED ‘ Amén 🙏 !
Because Of That : All Land IS SACRED ! And The Worst Thing To DO- : Is ‘Spell Man’s Blood On IT ‘
Went to a Eagles tribute band last night, they were absolutely brilliant, they sang this, it was amazing , as I said so was the band.✌️
like that song so much too
the story of western civilization in 6 minutes as don has said
Thanks takes a bit of brilliance to write a song like that and so very true
So I'm searching for this song for how many years, and decided to ask my dad by singing this song then he laughed. He said "The Last Resort" love you dad.
🇵🇭
America is doomned!!
It's amazing song and wonderful video slide that relates the songs. Thank you and Kudos
Freedom is just another word
je l'aime trop, cette chanson! une émotion intense se dégage de cette mélodie, sublime!
What a brilliant video....really moving....wow
This reminds me of our old house. My childhood and happiness. 😭
Every time I have a moment of my own, I put on this great song. I wonder if Trump knows it, i doubt it ...
Perfect Song...

January 2020 still listening
The Tribe and their USURY!
Don Henley's masterpiece.

U stole the real america s land
Con esta cancion siento que estoy en otro mundo estremese mi alma amo esta voz es como si realmente estuviera en el paraiso con jesus.
Is this Glenn on the piano? Sounds like him but he didn’t play piano on the 1994 version
My most fave song from EAGLES
Sad but true song.one of the greatist
Prodestant puritans stole the irish land and crossed the atlantic to steal the red indians land no change eh wat a shower off cunts
The dark, shattered underbelly of the American Dream
Yeah, it's so bad that every Eagle band member is living high on th hog while you earn $30/ hour at 7/11. If you can't see the irony, don't reply.
Happy capitalism.
All chasing the dollar.
All chasing the dollar.
This song is so relevant to today's world. You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye. Please everyone look after all the paradise you have. Enjoy the beauty of our world and don't damage it.
Merveilleuse histoire en images ,thank you.
my favorite "white liberal guilt" song! On my playlist when I drive down the hill into LA
Me...Listening in 2019 ! Born in 1960...and still an OLD Eagles Fan for many many Years now !
I am and best song ever written.
I remember this song when i was in Jeddah Saudi Arabia since 1997 , and until now i'm still listening to this very nice and popular song from eagles
When will we ever learn? Written over 25 years before Greta Thunberg was born, yes, we were just as aware then as we are now. Greed is destroying the planet.
Always turn back to this epic song. Held-back fury.. Meet Henley and then die..
Nice work. Well done
Well said this song
Nov 2019!✓
Sorry I mean it.
Beautiiful song
Who is listening to this in November 2019? A masterpiece.
i'm in.....
Didn't know it existed!! Love finding 'New' songs
"Call some place paradise and you can kiss it goodbye"
Fitting with California in flames and facing an environmental disaster. America in general too.
A great song, and one of Don's best vocal performances.
I listen 3 seconds I put a beautiful like directly ! super beautiful song
you did a fantastic job..kudos
Just beautiful, Don has such soul in his voice.
I have a problem about a listen ... Thank for a Sub ENG
Sad but a nice song about dying
Eagle fly alone in the sky...Majesty
I am going back to the past. Good to find young again.
im felling sad why if heard this song
Great choice to end true crime BBC Paradise podcast with this song
Great song and great band forever
Joint only for imagination man!!!
There in not many that could top that song and music with a brilliant video
I totally agree. I love all the western paintings which appear to have been painted during the depression because of the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) program. The CCC program was the most popular program of Roosevelt's "New Deal". Here is a quote from Wiki "The CCC also led to a greater public awareness and appreciation of the outdoors and the nation's natural resources, and the continued need for a carefully planned, comprehensive national program for the protection and development of natural resources."
My Wife loves this song
The rich man came and raped the land....
Evry i hear this song, thier is place my heart Oct. 9 2019
I have always loved this song, and have listened to it from time to time since I was given the Hotel California album as a gift back when it was released. You did an excellent job putting together this video. It is very useful learning material for learners of English - you've even gone to the trouble of adding subtitles, which adds to its usefulness in that regard. Thank you so much.
Absolutely. Best track on a stellar album. Totally wasted tucked away on the B Side of 'Life in the Fast Lane'.
I have written several songs , for famous people ( under different psuedonyms) ,,,but THIS song is probably the greatest ...ever written, in our modern times .
None of your Beatles " its all about me / us" crap ( The Beatles NEVER wrote a song about the social conditions surrounding them .....and they NEVER went back to Liverpool, and poured money into the suffering of that city !!....
Also none of your Led Zepp " blues rip-off shit" ....THIS SONG ...is about ...what really happened /immigration/ dreams/ hopes/ tragedies ........Just listen to those lyrics : " they came from everywhere".....: " you call someplace paradise - you gotta - kiss it goodbye. " ...
Bollocks , Sir Paul - its always been about - you ....hasn't it ? You too , jmmy and robert - what have any of you done to share your luck, and hence ..wealth ....with the less fortunate ??
Not a lot , guys ....in fact - zero !
You are now just three ugly old guys , with big houses - pathetic.
Pablo Fitt
Can't listen to this now without thinking what an inspired ending to @danmaudsley's excellent #BBCParadise true crime podcast (available on BBC Sounds). Such a fitting, heart rending song. Excellent work Dan.
My ex's favorite song❤❤When we were together I used to do a repeat...even today whenever he calls me the first thing is It was our paradise but Its wasn't our Destiny..Armel I do miss you every day😢😢😢😢
She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee,
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin',
They spoke about the red man's way, how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide
Down in the crowded bars out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there
And they called it paradise, I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high
Then the chilly winds blew down across the desert,
Through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu
Where the pretty people play hungry for power
To light their neon way and give them things to do
Some rich man came and raped the land, nobody caught 'em,
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and, Jesus, people bought 'em
And they called it paradise, the place to be,
They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is Coming',
Brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign
Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny and in the name of God
And you can see them there on Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about what it's like up there
They called it paradise, I don't know why
You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye.
One of my favorite song, the first time i heard this song wayback in 2004, when my brother bought a CD of America.
the idia the lyric the compilation of video one of its kind thanks for posting this video to give me a change to see this video again and again
Thank you very much.
I listened to this song on the radio in England today and what a fantastic song and the video explains what the song is about and how the white race has created a false paradise where there once was a relative paradise before the white race arrived.
Just heard this song again on the radio. Beautifully written. A cogent reminder of where we've been and what we need to change.
What a brilliant song.
Best song ever...
Anyone listening in 1776?
Eagles are the best!!
why not formed an FB GROUP ABOUT GREAT MUSIC LIKE THIS.
WHO S THE GOAT in modern music.
Is it anywhere live..?
The Last Resort, La meilleure chanson des Eagles en 1976 sur l'album Hotel California et New Kid in Town, comme deuxième meilleure chanson de cet album

The night they drove old dixie down is also a history lesson in a song
