THE BIG YELLOW TAXI


The Sangre De
Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains

performed by Joni Mitchell orginally and a remake by Amy Grant

They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone
They paved paradise And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people A dollar and a half to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone
They paved paradise And they put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer Put away that D.D.T.
now Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees Please! Dont it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone
They paved paradise And put up a parking lot

Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi Took away my old man Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone
They paved paradise And put up a parking lot



When I was a young lady these words inspired me to care more about the things of nature then the things of man. I dedicate this page to the city of Denver, Colorado, who has taken many a beautiful piece of land, and put up a parking lot. Just please leave our lovely mountains alone. Please!
