Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Working night and day
I try to get ahead
But I don't get ahead this way
Working night and day
The railroad and the fence
Watch the train go roll 'round the bend
[Verse 2]
Over the hillside
Over the moment
Over the hills and waiting
[Verse 3]
Working night and day
I try to get ahead
Working night and day don't make no sense
[Verse 4]
Walk me into town
The fairy will be there
To carry us away into the air
[Verse 5]
Over the hillside
Over white water
Over the hills and falling
[Verse 6]
The stars in your eyes
Knowing what's right
The stars in your eyes don't explain
[Verse 7]
Over the hillside
Over the hillside
Over the hills and waiting
[Verse 8]
Over the hillside
Over the hillside
Over the hillside and home we'll go
[Verse 9]
Tomorrow, I will be there
Tomorrow, I will be there
Tomorrow, I will be there
Oh, you wait and see
[Verse 10]
I can't go on, and I can't go back
I don't feel so matter of fact
I tried and tried to make good sense
What's the good to try it all again?
