Bryan Adams - 51st State

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.
