We've lived here thirty years
And watched our children grow
It's so hard now to leave
And let our homestead go
We gather up our treasures
Of new and of old
But these memories we made here
In our hearts we'll hold
CHORUS
Round up the horses
And drive the cattle home
Load 'em into trailers
We can't leave them to roam
The ponderosa pine explode in the air
And this blackened earth will bring forth
New life everywhere
CHORUS
CHORUS
