Lyrics Robbie Robertson

Robbie Robertson

In The Blood

Welcome to my country

Welcome to my home

You could stay forever

You won't leave it alone

Welcome to the bush

Take what you may need

Shove comes to push

Maybe I should leave

I can't let go of the painted desert

I can't let go of the old way

I can't let go of the homeland

It's in the blood, I can't let go

I can stand up through your destruction

My voice will tremble, my hands will shake

Yes I can stand up through your destruction

I won't break, I won't break

I can hear the voices

I can hear the voices come through the night

I can't let go of the painted desert

I can't let go of the old way

I can't let go of the homeland

It's in the blood, I can't let go

Sweat it out, sweat it out, sweat it out

Let it out, let it out, let it out

Sweat it out, sweat it out, sweat it out

Let it out, let it out, let it out

Get it out of my head

I can't let go of the painted desert

I can't let go of the old way

I can't let go of the ancient ways

It's in the blood, I can't let go

It's in the blood

It's in the blood, I can't let go
