The Buffalo

歌詞

Boss said Mac I need to see you It's Friday afternoon about five We had to make some cuts around here Sorry Mac you won't survive He sat there stunned in silence The hard word's ringing in his ears Couldn't believe all the years he'ed given Suddenly had disappeared His first thought was how do I tell her That I lost my job today As he left he felt so wounded And his boss just slipped away He wondered where's the justice When I gave it everything I got And driving home the fire kicked in And the feeling sorry for himself just stopped He said i ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo I will not go quietly the way that they want us to be Driven from the only life we've known I ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo He held her close as he told her the news Prepared for her to cry As the afternoon sun was going down He saw a different look in her eyes She said Baby you've always been my hero So hold your head up tall and proud Let them take away everything we own But we ain't going down We ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo No we will not go quietly the way that they want us to be Driven from the only life we've known We ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo As they stood there in the darkness She reached out and took his hand She whispered Remember baby you have the blood of everyone Who's ever had to make a stand Who's ever had to find a brand new land And We ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo No, we will not go quietly the way that they want us to be Driven from the only life we've known We ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo And baby who knows what's waiting out there As long as we got each other baby I don't care
