Local routes, Stronger future

Текст песни

[Verse 1] Where the Sierra snow comes rolling down, And the water runs toward our hometown, There’s a whole lot riding on every stream— Family farms and a working man’s dream. From the kitchen tap to the fields we grow, We need a voice when the waters flow. Local roots and a steady hand, James Smith’s got a plan for this land. [Pre-Chorus] Keep the books wide open, make every dollar count, Give the folks a say when the rates come out. For the next generation and the life we choose— There’s a whole lot here we can’t afford to lose! [Chorus] Hey! Hey! Let the whole town hear! James Smith, let’s make it clear! Fair water rates and our water rights, A stronger future’s worth the fight! From the mountain snow to the valley floor, Keep it flowing for the years in store. Local roots, standing strong and true— James Smith for Division Two! [Verse 2] Raw water running down the irrigation line, Treated water at suppertime, Different needs, but the goal’s the same— Fair rates for the folks who pay. Spend it wisely, show us why, Put the numbers in the public eye. Protect our water, protect our farms, Keep tomorrow in our children’s arms. [Pre-Chorus] Every hard-earned dollar, every acre sown, Every family building a place called home. That’s what matters when the choices get tough— We need clear answers when the bills go up! [Chorus] Hey! Hey! Let the whole town hear! James Smith, let’s make it clear! Fair water rates and our water rights, A stronger future’s worth the fight! From the mountain snow to the valley floor, Keep it flowing for the years in store. Local roots, standing strong and true— James Smith for Division Two! [Bridge — half-time drums, building guitars] This water tells our story, Through the pines and granite stone. It feeds the fields we work in, It’s running through our homes. Let’s take care of what we’re given, Leave more than memories behind— Clear water for our children, And a future built to shine! [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus — full band, crowd singing] Hey! Hey! Let the whole town hear! James Smith, let’s make it clear! Fair water rates and our water rights, A stronger future’s worth the fight! Raise your voice from shore to shore, That’s what we’re standing up here for! Local roots, standing strong and true— James Smith for Division Two! [Outro — stomp, clap, crowd chant] Local roots! Water focus! A stronger future— That’s what the vote is! JAMES SMITH! DIVISION TWO! A stronger NID starts with you!
