There a roadhouse just outside of town on a two-lane blacktop Where all the folks come to hear country music play And every year the city's gettin' closer, Lord knows it won't stop And old Hank the bartender gave us the bad news today, yeah he said
[CHORUS:]
This land was our land but Lord now it's their land And we're still here, but not for long So let's raise a cold one and play all the old ones 'Til we've sung the last country song
There's 300 acres of cotton corn and a little bit of gravel All bought up by a builder from downtown Tomorrow when the earth starts a-shakin and the walls start to rattle A big bulldozer's gonna take Hank's roadhouse down, so everybody sing
[CHORUS]
Will we play \"Swingin'\" or \"He Stopped Loving Her Today\" It's really sad to see it end this way
[CHORUS]
'Til we've sung the last country song Oh we've sung the last country song Oh we've sung the last country song
