Lyrics: Randy Rogers Band. Rollercoaster. They Call It The Hill Country.

Verse 1:
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 wll they call it when its leveled and paved

Verse 2:
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:
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 wll they call it when its leveled and paved

Bridge:
So scrape off the hilltop, build look alike houses
Move in some people and turn on the t.v.
After the ball game we'll turn on some old movies
They'll smile when they see how things used to be

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 wll they call it when its leveled and paved
