1When I was six years 4old I broke my leg6 5
1 I was running from 4 my brother and his 6friends 5
1 And tasted the 4 sweet perfume of the 6 mountain grass 5 I rolled down
1 I was younger 4 then, 6 take me back to when 5 --- I
4 Found my 5 heart n broke it
1 here Made friends and 4lost them through the 6 years And I've not 5 seen the roaring
1 fields in so long, 4 I know I've grown 6 (But) I can't 5 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, 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 n 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
These 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
