11.The Last Country Song
There a roadhouse just outside of town
on a two-lane blacktop
Where all the folks come to hear country music play
And every year the city's gettin' closer,
Lord knows it won't stop
And old Hank the bartender
gave us the bad news today,
yeah he said
This land was our land
but Lord now it's their land
And we're still here,
but not for long
So let's raise a cold one
and play all the old ones
'Til we've sung the last country song
There's 300 acres of cotton corn
and a little bit of gravel
All bought up by a builder from downtown
Tomorrow when the earth starts a-shakin
and the walls start to rattle
A big bulldozer's gonna take
Hank's roadhouse down,
so everybody sing
This land was our land
but Lord now it's their land
And we're still here,
but not for long
So let's raise a cold one
and play all the old ones
'Til we've sung the last country song
Will we play 'Swingin''
or 'He Stopped Loving Her Today'
It's really sad to see it end this way
This land was our land
but Lord now it's their land
And we're still here,
but not for long
So let's raise a cold one
and play all the old ones
'Til we've sung the last country song
'Til we've sung the last country song
Oh we've sung the last country song
