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? |
