I just can't sing country roads today....T. Paige

Forgive me for posting this song again. Mea Culpa. Or as the cat says, "Meow, gulpa".

I Just Can't Sing Country Roads Today
T. Paige

When I think of how her waters have been poisoned and condemned
When I think of how her mountains have been blown into the ditch
The halo that rested high above her head has been stripped
And trampled by the madness of the bastard coal execs...

And I just can't sing Country Roads today
No, I just can't sing Country Roads today

When those who say they love her don't really give a shit
They ride around on Harleys looking like hillbilly pimps
But even the whores on 7th Avenue are treated better than this...

And I just can't sing Country Roads today
And I just can't sing Country Roads today

Not in your hallowed halls and your meeting rooms where the stench
Of your backroom deals has lowered almost heaven to the level of your dead man's grip.

And I just can't sing Country Roads today
No, I just can't sing Country Roads today

There's a reason that the sparrow has vanished from her nest
There's a reason she has ceased to sing and I tell you this
There's a reason for these angry words and the slamming of the fist.

Yes the bastards have taken her away
Oh, the bastards have taken her away
And driven out the true mountaineer and desecrate his place...

And I just can't sing Country Roads today
And I just can't sing Country Roads today
