Written about the Klamath Basin Crisis
http://www.klamathbasincrisis.org/
Taking down the photographs
We're leaving this, but we're keeping that
Packing up the life that's past
And headed some place new
Sell it off a piece at a time
Amazing the stuff that collects in time
That's a dollar, and that's a dime
What we don't sell we'll take downtown
[Chorus]
Leaving this place
that I've called home for so long
Seven generations come and gone
I wonder if they'll sell
or if they'll burn it to the ground
I never thought I'd see the day
my country would kill the land
What am I supposed to do
I didn't have much time for school
My daddy taught me what he knew
And that was how to farm this land
The politicians and the Eco-freaks
They think they know what's best, you see
I guess they're schools forgot one thing
Without water, crops don't grow
[Repeat Chorus]
Klamath Basin's running dry
With nothing between the dust and the sky
So take a breath and close your eyes
And pray we make it through
[Repeat Chorus]
