[VERSE 1]
Well, [C]I woulda bought my [F]grandpa's [C]farm
But I couldn't raise [G]quite enough [C]cash
Now they're cuttin' all the [F]timber [C]down
Turnin' all the [G]rest to [C]ash
[VERSE 2]
A [C]company came in from [F]outta [C]state
To building another stinkin' [G]facto[C]ry
And them county politicians [F]think they [C]know
Just exactly [G]what we [C]need
[CHORUS]
But I [F]sit down by the [C]highway
I [G]hear those big cats [C]growl
[F] Where the quail gonna [C]fly to?
Where will the rabbits run now?
[F] I watch 'em tearin' [C]all to hell
[G] Used to be my [C]church
[F] Tearin' up my [C]grandpa's land
They're treatin' my grandpa's [F]land like [C]dirt
[VERSE 3]
A [C]few more jobs and a [F]lot less [C]trees
Gonna put this county [G]in the rat [C]race
Like that's where we [F]want to [C]be
This used to be such a [G]peaceful [C]place
[VERSE 4]
And they'll [C]tell us that they [F]don't pol[C]lute
This shit they dump in the river is [G]perfectly [C]safe
But all the talk in the [F]whole wide [C]world
Could never bring back what [G]they laid to [C]waste
[CHORUS]
I [F]sit down by the [C]highway
I [G]hear those big cats [C]growl
[F] Where the quail gonna [C]fly to?
Where will the rabbits run now?
[F] I watch 'em tearin' [C]all to hell what
[G] Used to be my [C]church

[VERSE 5]
There's an [C]ancient oak [F]standin' a[C]lone
Tryin' to do the work of a [G]thousand [C]trees
Been here since the Cherokee [F]called this [C]home
But it's standin' in the way of a[G] facto[C]ry
