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
As 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,
I can’t wait to go home.
Chorus:
I’m on my way,
Driving at ninety 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.
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,
I can’t wait to go home.
Chorus:
I’m on my way,
Driving at ninety 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,
Oooh,
Over the castle on the hill,
Oooh,
Over the castle on the hill.
Bridge:
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.
Chorus:
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, and it’s real,
We watched the sunset
Over the castle on the hill,
Oooh,
Over the castle on the hill,
Oooh,
Over the castle on the hill.
