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 I 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
15 years old, and smoking handrolled 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 have 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 raise 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 answer
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
