Can’t Make Us Gone

[Verse 1]
The nights are staying warm
The grass is gettin' long
It's time to sleep under the stars
And go where the buffalo roam
I packed up the cart
Swept our new wooden floors
Planted all the blueberry seeds
I wonder how big they'll grow

[Chorus]
These are the lands we've lived on for so long
Red river banks always been our home

[Verse 2]
Got back late in the fall
Something was terribly wrong
Black hats, long coats
Faces that I don't know
I wish they'd leave us alone

[Chorus]
Steal our lands we've been on for so long
Move on in, take over our homes
Eat our food, wear our clothes, quiet our song
But you can't make us gone

[Verse 3]
Now the nights are gettin' cold
I hear my belly roar
With the sign of an X goes everything
That we've ever known
Now we're livin' on the side of the road

[Chorus]
Steal our lands we've been on for so long
Move on in, take over our homes
Eat our food, wear our clothes, quiet our song
But you can't make us gone
