|
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] |
