This Is My Prairie

(album: Losin' Lately Gambler - 2009)

This is my prairie, this is my home
I'll make my stand here and I'll die alone
They can drill, they can mine o'er my smouldering bones
'Cause this is my prairie, this is my home

The water is poison, my calves are all dead
My children are sick and the aquifer's bled
They want a big pipeline right through Pop's grove
But this is my prairie, this is my home

I can't blame the riggers or the guys driving truck
For feeding their families and making a buck
But take a close look at the stock that you own
'Cause this is my prairie, this is my home

I don't got the money that lawyers can buy
I don't got my own government's laws on my side
But I got this old rifle that my grand daddy owned
And this is my prairie, this is my home

This is my prairie, this is my home
I'll make my stand here and I'll die alone
They can drill they can mine o'er my mouldering bones
This is my prairie, this is my home
