lyrics

Up there where the valleys roll
There’s a little stone town I could call my home
Where what grows underground is worth more than gold
Set the dogs out, girls, bring back what they hold

In the land where my grandpa lay
Where he’d work all day turning soil from clay
Where he’d leave with his horse and be gone for days
Travelin’ miles out to sell what my grandma made

Now strangers are coming into our town
And we're goin' to run them out

Up there on the mountain
Where the wind blows cold
Where the steel train takes out another load
I will find the wild river
Send my troubles away
Wash ‘em down to the ocean to disintegrate

Word got out what’s under our ground
Didn’t think news would travel to that far out
Cut the bridge down, boys, we can’t use ‘em no more
Anything we need, we can build or grow

From the top we’ll watch 'em all come
There’ll be none of ‘em standing when we get done
We got men with blades and girls with guns
To protect our name and defend our young

They’ll turn our sky to copper from blue
So now you know what we must do...
