They Call It the Hill Country Lyrics

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
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?

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

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 but what will they call it when it’s leveled and paved
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

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 but what will they call it when it’s leveled and paved
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 but what will they call it when it’s leveled and paved

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 but what will they call it when it’s leveled and paved

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