Clear Cut Lyrics
Way back in the mountains on the high knob by the ridge<br />
My grandpa built our cabin where we lived for 40 years<br />
Spent my happy childhood beneath the hardwood trees<br />
I didn't know what I had then was all I'd ever need<br />
Mountain laurels blooming, it was early in the spring<br />
Lookin' out my window on a see of endless green<br />
Rich men from the city came to buy our land today<br />
Took 200 years to grow, but it's gone in 30 days<br />
Mud slides down the mountain, there's no way to stop the flood<br />
Hills without their timbers, like a man without his blood<br />
Scars upon the land, those wounds will never heal<br />
But a greedy man will never get his fill<br />
(Musical Break)<br />
Mud slides down the mountain, there's no way to stop the flood<br />
Hills without their timbers, like a man without his blood<br />
Scars upon the land, those wounds will never heal<br />

But a greedy man will never get his fill<br />
I can't go back and I know I never will<br />
I hope someday they know the way I feel
