Lyrics
:
Come roll out the red carpet, Come bugler sound the horn Cause the hero is returning Gotta welcome him to his home Don�t say I didn�t warn you This prophecy�s coming true I can hear the cavalry thundering Riding over the hill Riding over the hill COME ON DOWN AND MEET YOUR MAKER COME ON DOWN AND MAKE THE STAND COME ON DOWN COME ON DOWN COME ON DOWN WE'LL MAKE THE STAND

Mike Peters Notes
:When we first recorded for IRS, the band didn’t have much money, and neither did the company. So we recorded ‘The Stand’ twice, one version for the 7-inch and a longer version, with a fourth verse, for the 12-inch. But we never had enough money to put the 12-inch out, so we took the liberty of putting the fourth verse on the album, without the rest of the song. It completes the lyric, and gives a fuller picture.
(Boston Rock, 1984)
