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, they weathered the ages

Got wiped off the map for twelve 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 its leveled 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 hot tubs

And drink Perrier

CHORUS

So scrape off the hilltop, build look alike houses

Move in some people and turn on the TV

After the ball game we'll turn on some old movies

They'll smile when they see how things used to be

CHORUS

CHORUS

CHORUS
