They Call It the Hill Country

歌詞

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
