Chorus
The Tonkawa A Stopped Here On Their Nomadic Trail
The Spanish Came Hers, Called It Home
The German Came Here Called It A New Home
The Developers Came Here, Now They Just Call It Gold
Verse 1
They Call It Comal, They Call It Las Fantones, They Call It New Braunfels
A Conservative Town On The Banks Of The Guadalupe River
Built On The Water, Between Two Rivers, Build On A Spring
Cool Water And Christal Clear Water, Comal Springs
Verse 2
A Town With A Rich Herring
A Town With Hill Country Beauty
A Town Growing, Growing, And Growing
A Town Now For The Ripe Picking By The Gold Rush Developers
Chorus
The Tonkawa A Stopped Here On Their Nomadic Trail
The Spanish Came Hers, Called It Home
The German Came Here Called It A New Home
The Developers Came Here Now They Just Call It Gold
Verse 3
Now The Town Lately Been Up For Sale
City Leadership, The Chamber All Worshiping Them Benjamine’s
One Stop Shopping For Developers, It Attracts All Kind
The Good The Bad And The Ugly
Verse 4
Now Lately Low Income Housing Been The Gold
Big Tax Breaks, Loose Regulations, Greed Disguised As Altruism
Carpet Bagges From The South Here To Flatten And Raise
The City, School District All Greased, Gladly Giving Our Town Away
Verse 5
Sell That Land Wipe Out Those Majestic Oak Trees
Flaten Those Hills, Build Fake Housing Projects Roi Is King
Keep It Quiet , Generate Lots Of Feel Good Smoke And Mirrors
Grease The Gate Keepers, Rubber Stamp The Deal, Easy Stuff
Outro
They Call It New Braunfels, I Call It Beautiful
I Call It Progress, If It Could Be Saved,
They Call It The New Braunfels I Call It Home
What Will They Call It When It’s Leveled And Paved?
New Braunfels City Hauled
