When I was six years old I broke my leg When I was running From my brother and his friends And tasted the sweet perfume Of the mountain grass I rolled down Well, I was younger then Take me back to when I found my heart And broke it there 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 made me feel And it’s real And we watched the sun Over the castle on the hill 15 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
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 My friends and I 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 And we watched the sun Over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, 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 These people raised me These people raised me, yeah These people raised And I cant wait to go… I’m on my way I still remember These old country lanes When we did not know the answer And I miss the way you made me feel It’s real
When we watched the sun (hoo-hoo) Over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill
