Never thought I'd see the day
Never thought I'd see the plan
Where everything could get harder
For the working man

Yeah we're better off together we're way better hand in hand
But the 49th parallel has become a line drawn in the sand
Let me give it to you straight
When you're talking 'bout my home

You better show some respect 'cause up here we take care of our own
So let me give you some advice mister you might have too much on your plate
Go and load us up with tariffs but we'll never be the 51st state
Maybe you've forgotten

Maybe you just don't care
But we always stood beside you for that liberty we share
You can push us to the brink
But where the open road divides

You'll find a wall of maple with us on the other side
So let me give it to you straight
When you're talking 'bout my home
You better show some respect 'cause up here we take care of our own

So let me give you some advice mister
You might have too much on your plate you're welcome 'cross the border
But we'll never be the 51st state
