When I was six years
|
old I broke my leg
|
I was running from
|
my brother and his friends
|
And tasted the sweet perfume
|
of the mountain grass
|
I rolled down
|
I was younger then
|
take me back to when I
|
Found my heart
|
and broke it here
|
Made friends and lost
|
them through the years
|
And I've not seen
|
the roaring fields in so long
|
I know I've grown
|
But I can't wait to go home
|
I'm on my way
|
Driving at 90 down
|
those country lanes
|
Singing to Tiny Dancer
|
And I miss the way
|
you make me feel
|
and it's real
|
We watched the sunset
|
over the castle on the hill
|
Fifteen years old and smoking
|
hand-rolled cigarettes
|
Running from the law through
|
the backfields and getting
|
drunk with my friends
|
Had my first kiss
|
on a Friday night
|
I don't reckon that
|
I did it right
|
But I was younger then
|
take me back to when
|
We found weekend jobs
|
when we got paid
|
We'd buy cheap spirits
|
and drink them straight
|
Me and my friends have
|
not thrown up in so long
|
oh how we've grown
|
But I can't wait to go home
|
I'm on my way
|
Driving at 90 down
|
those country lanes
|
Singing to Tiny Dancer
|
And I miss the way
|
you make me feel
|
and it's real
|
We watched the sunset
|
over the castle on the hill
|
Over the castle on the hill
|
Over the castle on the hill
|
One friend left to sell clothes
|
One works down by the coast
|
One had two kids but lives alone
|
One's brother overdosed
|
One's already on his second wife
|
One's just barely getting by
|
But these people raised me
|
And I can't wait to go home
|
And I'm on my way
|
I still remember
|
Those old country lanes
|
When we did not
|
know the answers
|
And I miss the way
|
you make me feel
|
it's real
|
We watched the sunset
|
over the castle on the hill
|
Over the castle on the hill
|
Over the castle on the hill
|
|
