Uncle Frank
作詞:Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood, Matt Lane, Rob Malone, John Neff
They powered up the city with hydro-electric juice Now we got more electricity we can ever use They flooded out the hollow and all the folks down there moved out But they got paid so there ain't nothin' else to think about
Some of them made their living cutting the timber down Snaking it one log at a time up the hill and into town T.V.A. had a way to clear it off real fast Lots of men and machinery build a dam and drown the rest
Uncle Frank lived down the park, down on Cedar Creek Bought fifteen acres when he got back home from overseas Fifteen rocky acres, figured no one else would want Till all that backed up water had to have some place to go

The cars never came to town and the roads never got built And the price of all that power kept on going straight uphill And banks around the hollow sold for lake-front property Where doctors, lawyers, and musicians teach their kids to water ski
Uncle Frank couldn't read or write So there was no note or letter found where he died Just a rope around his neck And the kitchen table turned on it's side
