《They Covered Up The Old Swimmin Hole》歌词

[00:00:00] They Covered Up The Old Swimmin Hole - Country Express

[00:00:05] Boring through the mountains by passing the towns

[00:00:09] Interstate ninety is a sight to behold

[00:00:14] But that monument to progress and engineering skill

[00:00:19] Has covered up the old swimming hole

[00:00:24] Thirty feet straight up from where the old hole stood

[00:00:29] They sell twenty kinds of icecream and the food is good

[00:00:35] But it never can compare with the food for the soul

[00:00:39] You could get for a dip in the old swimming hole

[00:00:45] Oh the old swimming hole her cool waters ran deep

[00:00:51] Felt good to a boy with mud on his feet

[00:00:57] And I'm wishing these days I could strip to my soul

[00:01:02] And go for a dip in the old swimming hole

[00:01:11] A symbol of our great and affluent society

[00:01:15] Interstate ninety fulfillment of our goals

[00:01:21] But that masterpiece of human ingenuity

[00:01:26] Has covered up the old swimming hole

[00:01:31] Gone the wooden schoolhouse the old country store

[00:01:36] The winding dirt road that's winding no more

[00:01:42] And the old swimming hole hears

[00:01:44] The sound of speeding wheels

[00:01:46] Entombed beneath a blanket of concrete and steel

[00:01:52] Oh the old swimming hole her cool waters ran deep

[00:01:58] Felt good to a boy with mud on his feet

[00:02:03] And I'm wishing these days I could strip to my soul

[00:02:08] And go for a dip in the old swimming hole

[00:02:13] And go for a dip in the old swimming hole
