the bottle rockets - manhattan countryside lyrics
well i live down in a valley
was prettiest around
living in an alley in the middle of downtown
and i didn’t have to move
to this big city
you know i stayed right in my country home
they built it all around me
i used to love these hills they flattened
for that highway 4-lanes wide
they’re making a manhattan
out of my countryside
ain’t no use in crying much
you don’t know what i’d do
to go back to them woods
they turned hardee’s #2
well if i had a dollar for every tree cut down
you know i’d buy out all these businessmen
cut down this whole town
i used to love these hills they flattened
for that highway 4-lanes wide
they’re making a manhattan
out of my countryside
them motels on the horizon
really caught me by surprise
who has been advising all these
enterprising guys
i ain’t got to promise
but it hurts me some to say
i was here ‘fore they was
they’re driving me away
i used to love these hills they flattened
for that highway 4-lanes wide
they’re making a manhattan
out of my countryside
