The Buffalo lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

As they stood there in the darkness

She reached out ant 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

[Chorus]

[Outro]

And, baby, who knows what's waiting out there

As long as we got each other, baby, I don't care
