When I was six years old, I broke my leg. I was running from my brother and his friends. Tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass. I rolled down. I was younger then. Take me back to when I found my heart. I've grown up hard 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.
And I'm on my way, well, driving at 90 down those country lanes, singing to Tiny Dancer. And I miss the way The way you make me feel, 'cause it's real. And we watch the sunset over the castle on the hill.
15 years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes, running from the law through the back fields and getting drunk with my friends. Had my first 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 Go home.
And I'm on my way. Well, driving at 90 down those country lanes. Well, singing to Tiny Dancer, and I miss the way you make, well, me feel, 'cause it's real. And we watch the sunset over the castle on the hill.
One friend left, so close. One works down by the coast. One had 2 kids but lives alone. One's brother overdosed. One's already on a second wife. One's barely getting by. But these people raised me and I, and I can't wait to see them again. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I can't wait to go home and I'm on my way. And I still remember these old country lanes.
When we did not know the answer and I miss the way you make me feel, 'cause it's real and we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill. Over the castle on the hill. Over the castle on the hill.
