The Interstate Is Coming Through My Outhouse

C F C Oh, the interstate is a comin' through my outhouse. G7 They tell me I'm on there right away. C I'll sell today and I'll get rich but my path will end at the highway ditch. G7 C I'm makin' my last visit there today. C F C Granny says to cancel Sears and Robuck; G Tell Uncle Sam to hurry up our dough. C With all this progress comin' we'll change to inside plumbin' G7 C And shorten up our early mornin' stroll. C F C Oh, Uncle Ben has got a case of miseries; G A-runnin' to that outhouse makes him tired. C But he'll be gettin' better; he'll be an inside setter G7 C When they install that cesspool in our yard. C F C Oh, the interstate is a comin' through my outhouse. G7 They tell me I'm on there right away. C I'll sell today and I'll get rich but my path will end at the highway ditch. G7 C I'm makin' my last visit there today. C F C Them engineers made 47 surveys; G They said the road was coming through our lives. C They'll bring in a big steamroller and flatten my two-holer G7 C But that ol' shack will never be forgot. C F C Someday when I grow old and kind of feeble; G Some moonlit night I'll get up feelin' strange. C I'll finish up my bath and stroll down my old path G7 C And wake up in a great big interchange. C F C Oh, the interstate is a comin' through my outhouse. G7 They tell me I'm on there right away. C I'll sell today and I'll get rich but my path will end at the highway ditch. G7 C I'm makin' my last visit there today.
