《Half Mile Down》歌词

[00:00:06] They come down from

[00:00:07] Washington

[00:00:08] City To our

[00:00:09] Blue Ridge

[00:00:09] Mountain home

[00:00:11] And across that crooked river

[00:00:13] To the valley down below

[00:00:17] I was swimmin' in that water

[00:00:19] When they came up to the shore

[00:00:21] Sayin' sorry son this won't be

[00:00:27] Yes and my home town

[00:00:30] Is a half mile down

[00:00:33] It's a half mile o' water

[00:00:35] All around all around

[00:00:38] My home town is a half mile down

[00:00:48] first they started their surveyin'

[00:00:50] And makin' up their plans

[00:00:53] To flood that peaceful valley

[00:00:55] Just to build

[00:00:56] Watauga dam

[00:00:58] Oh they brought in their bulldozers

[00:01:01] And pushed our homes away

[00:01:03] And they handed me a shovel

[00:01:09] Singin' my home town

[00:01:12] Is a half mile down

[00:01:14] It's a half mile o' water

[00:01:16] All around all around

[00:01:19] My home town is a half mile down

[00:01:44] So they stripped out all the timber

[00:01:46] And they leveled all the land

[00:01:49] And they drilled and dynamited 'til they blew the mountains in

[00:01:53] I tore down my old homeplace

[00:01:56] And I dug up

[00:01:57] Daddy's grave

[00:01:58] And I relocated

[00:02:00] Momma to 14 miles away

[00:02:05] Now I look down on the water

[00:02:08] That rose up on that day

[00:02:10] By the banks of the old

[00:02:12] Watauga Where

[00:02:13] I once used to play

[00:02:16] Yes I look out on that water

[00:02:18] Where they made their big mistake

[00:02:27] Singin' my home town

[00:02:30] Is a half mile down

[00:02:32] It's a half mile of water

[00:02:34] All around all around

[00:02:37] My home town

[00:02:39] Is a half mile down

[00:02:41] It's a half mile of water

[00:02:43] All around all around

[00:02:46] My home town is a half mile down
