They Call It the Hill Country |
| 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, man, they weathered the ages |
| Got wiped off the map at 12 dollars a load |
| 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 leveled and paved? |
| Uncivilized pagans drank untreated water |
| Right out of our river back in their day |
| Now those streams bubble with clean treated sewage |
| While they sit in their hot tubs and they sip Perrier |
| 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 leveled and paved? |
| Scrape off the hilltop, 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 |
| 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 leveled and paved? |
| 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 leveled and paved? |
