GUEST,Stu Lyr Req: They Can't Put It Back (Billy Edd Wheeler (4) Lyr Req: Can't Put It Back 13 Dec 02


I can't find the words to this one anywhere. I have a PARTIAL recording of it that I picked up about 20 years ago on West Virginia Public Radio. It's done a capella style by a male singer. part of it goes:

they come and tell me I've got to move
make way for their big machines
but I'm not a-movin' until they kill me
like they killed the fish in my stream
I ain't a-movin' outta my tracks
cause they can't put it back

I never was one to walk in lines
picket with placards, carry signs
but maybe I'm behind the times
you can bet your sweet life they're gonna hear ftom me
I ani't gonna take this layin' down
cause I'm gettin tired of seein rocks that bleed on the bare guts of the ground
I ain't a-movin' outta my tracks
cause they can't put it back

Thanks in advance!! --Stu
