The hills of cow gap stood rugged and awesome
|
But you have to have fill dirt when you're building a road
|
And the hills of cow gap, they weathered the ages
|
Got wiped off the map for 12 dollars a load
|
|
Chorus: They call it the hill country, I call it beautiful
|
I'd call it progress if it could be saved
|
They call it the hill country I call it home
|
But what will they call it
|
When it's levelled and paved?
|
|
Uncivilized pagans drank untreated water
|
Right out of our rivers back in their day
|
Now those streams bubble with clean treated sewage
|
While they sit in their hotubs and they sip perrier.
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Scrape off the hilltops build look alike houses
|
Move in some people and turn on the TV
|
After the ball game turn on some old movies
|
They'll smile when they see how things use to be.
|
|
Chorus
|
Repeat Chorus
|
