Eminent Domain
The man wants to dam up the river
Plannin' it since I was a kid
Wanna put our land underwater
Build a waterfront Holiday Inn
Comin' 'round with suits and attorneys
Lookin' down at my yard full of cars
Using words that you never heard of
Unless you could pass the bar
We all said over our dead bodies
Money ain't what it's all about
One by one our neighbors settled
Yours truly is the last holdout
We been here for five generations
Never cashed a welfare dime
Paid my taxes when they came knockin'
Cops came only once or twice
They think I'm a little unstable
Maybe stubborn or maybe slow
They don't know what's behind these Oakleys
Push enough and I'll let them know
Maybe I just kind of remember
When I wasn't here alone
Before I broke every promise
Ran off everyone that I know
Did seventeen months in McConnell
For something I didn't do
Well maybe I was an accomplice
Story's too long to get into
Truth be known I will never settle
Not sure I even know why
Unless they drag me out screamin'
Or wait until I die
Plannin' it since I was a kid
Wanna put our land underwater
Build a waterfront Holiday Inn
Comin' 'round with suits and attorneys
Lookin' down at my yard full of cars
Using words that you never heard of
Unless you could pass the bar
We all said over our dead bodies
Money ain't what it's all about
One by one our neighbors settled
Yours truly is the last holdout
We been here for five generations
Never cashed a welfare dime
Paid my taxes when they came knockin'
Cops came only once or twice
They think I'm a little unstable
Maybe stubborn or maybe slow
They don't know what's behind these Oakleys
Push enough and I'll let them know
Maybe I just kind of remember
When I wasn't here alone
Before I broke every promise
Ran off everyone that I know
Did seventeen months in McConnell
For something I didn't do
Well maybe I was an accomplice
Story's too long to get into
Truth be known I will never settle
Not sure I even know why
Unless they drag me out screamin'
Or wait until I die
