Standard (EADGBE)

(Verse 1)

 The hills of Cow Gap stood rugged and awesome

 But you have to have fill dirt when you’re building a road

 The hills of Cow Gap man they weathered the ages

 Got wiped off the map for 12 dollars a load

(Chorus)

 Well they call it the hill country

I call it beautiful

I call it progress, if it could be saved,

 They call it the hill country

I call it home

 Yeah what will they call it when it’s leveled and paved?

(Verse 2)

Uncivilized pagans drink untreated water,

Right out of our river back in there day

Now those streams bubble with clean treated sewage

While they sit in there hot tubs and they sip Perrier

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

 Scrape 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 things used to be

(Chorus x3)

 Yeah what will they call it when its leveled and paved.

(Outro)
