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
