A song called 'Tar And Cement', recorded in 1968 by Verdelle Smith. It's a sentimental tale of a girl who grows up in a small town and plays in the fields as a child, but grows up and moves to the big city for her career. She's lonely and unhappy but is determined to make it, but misses her small town and longs to go back and lie in the meadows of her childhood. When she eventually does get back, the meadows have gone, replaced by a 6 lane highway.

It's a beautiful tune, a translated version of a Francoise Hardy song. Can't get enough of it.
