[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
