Never thought I'd see the day
Never though I'd see the plan
Where everything could get harder
For the working man
It's easier 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 about my home
You better show some respect
Cuz 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'n 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 about my home
You better show some respect
Cuz 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 across the border
But we'll never be the 51st State.
