dirt - chris knight lyrics

Loading...

well i would’a bought my grandpa’s farm
but i couldn’t raise quite enough cash
now they’re cuttin’ all the timber down
turnin’ all the rest to ash

a company came in from outta state
to building another stinkin’ factory
and them county politicians think they know
just exactly what we need

but i sit down by the highway
i hear those big cats growl
where the quail gonna fly to?
where will the rabbits run now?
i watch ’em tearin’ all to h-ll what used to be my church
tearin’ up my grandpa’s land
they’re treatin’ my grandpa’s land like dirt

a few more jobs and a lot less trees
gonna put this county in the rat race
like that’s where we want to be
this used to be such a peaceful place

and they’ll tell us that they don’t pollute
this sh-t they dump in the river is perfectly safe
but all the talk in the whole wide world
could never bring back what they’ve laid to waste

i sit down by the highway
i hear those big cats growl
where the quail gonna fly to?
where will the rabbits run now?
i watch ’em tearin’ all to h-ll what used to be my church
tearin’ up my grandpa’s land
they’re treatin’ my grandpa’s land like dirt

there’s an ancient oak standin’ alone
tryin’ to do the work of a thousand trees
been here since the cherokee called this home
but it’s standin’ in the way of a factory

i sit down by the highway
i hear those big cats growl
where the quail gonna fly to?
where will the rabbits run now?
i watch ’em tearin’ all to h-ll what used to be my church
tearin’ up my grandpa’s land
they’re treatin’ my grandpa’s land like dirt
they’re treatin’ my grandpa’s land like dirt
