Well the hills of cow gap stood rugged and awesome
DA
But you have to have fill dirt when you?re building a road
DGD
And the hills of cow gap, they withered the ages
DABm
Got wiped off the map at twelve dollars a load
Refr'o -------------
GD
Well they call it the hill country, I call it beautiful
ADD7
I?d call it progress, if it could be saved
GDBm
They call it the hill country, I call it home
AD
What will they call it, when it?s leveled and paved

Uncivilized pagans drank untreated water
DA
Right out of our river way back in their day
DGD
Now those streams bubble with cleaned treated sewage
DABm
While they sit in their hot tubs and sip perrier
Repeat ChorusBridgeGD
Strip off the hill top, build look-a-like houses
GA
Move in some people and turn on the tv
GD
After the ball game turn on some old movies
DABm
They?ll smile when they see how it used to be
Repeat Chorus x3 (second time acoustic only)
AD
What will they call it when it?s leveled and paved
