They Call It The Hill Country

in waltz time Well 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 withered the ages Got wiped off the map at twelve dollars a load Well 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 What will they call it, when it?s leveled and paved Uncivilized pagans drank untreated water Right out of our river way back in their day Now those streams bubble with cleaned treated sewage While they sit in their hot tubs and sip perrier Repeat chorus Bridge Strip off the hill top, build look-a-like 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 it used to be Repeat chorus x3 (second time acoustic only) What will they call it when it?s leveled and paved
