The Interstate Is Coming Through My Outhouse
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: C
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 1]
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.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 3]
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.
[Verse 4]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
