Still Too Tough to Die – a Tombstone, Arizona song by Tanuki Thunder

Verse 1

Thirteen hundred people and a whole lot of pride
Same boardwalk, same dust, same sun on the Allen Street side
Stagecoach rolling slow past the Crystal Palace door
Gunfight at two o'clock, just like a hundred years before
Monsoon cracks the sky, we don't run, we don't hide
Pour another round and let the thunder roll on by

Chorus

We're still standing in the dust and the heat
Still got boots on the boards of Allen Street
They said this town would fade into the past
But Tombstone's built to last
Yeah, Tombstone's built to last
Still too tough to die

Verse 2

The silver's long gone and the mines filled up with rain
They moved the county seat, but we never moved away
Boothill on the hill keeps the old souls in line
Helldorado every fall, we bring the whole town back in time
Shopkeepers, cowboys and the bartender's call
This town took every punch and never took the fall

Chorus

We're still standing in the dust and the heat
Still got boots on the boards of Allen Street
They said this town would fade into the past
But Tombstone's built to last
Yeah, Tombstone's built to last
Still too tough to die

Instrumental Guitar Solo

Bridge

Fire took it twice, and the water took the gold
Highway passed us by, but this town don't fold
Raise your glass to the stubborn and the free
That's Tombstone, that's you and me

Final Chorus

We're still standing in the dust and the heat
Still got boots on the boards of Allen Street
They said this town would fade into the past
But Tombstone's built to last
Yeah, Tombstone's built to last
Still too tough to die
Still too tough to die
