Song : Dirt Album : Enough Rope Written: Knight/Cunningham Intro : C Verse 1: C F C Well I woulda bought my Grandpa''s farm C G C But I couldn''t raise quite enough cash C F C Now they''re cutting all the timber down C G C Turning all the rest to ash Company came in from out of state To build another stinking factory Them county politicians think they know Just exactly what we need F C But I sit down by the highway G C I hear those big cats growl F C Where the quail gonna fly to C Where will the rabbits run now F C I watch them tear it all to hell G C What used to be my church F C Tearing up my Grandpa''s land C G C Treating my Grandpa''s land like dirt A few more jobs and a lot less trees Gonna put this county in a rat race Like thats where we want to be This used to be such a peaceful place And they''ll tell us that they don''t pollute The s**t they dump in the river is perfectly safe But all the talk in the whole wide world Will never bring back what they laid to waste There''s an ancient oak standing alone Trying to do the work of a thousand trees Been here since the Cherokee called this home But it''s standing in the way of a factory Repeat Chorus
