Lyrics
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
We were 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
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
(How you doing?)
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
I don't reckon that I did it right
But we were younger then, (sing it out)
(Take me back to when)
We found out 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
And we watched the sunset, over the castle on the hill
Ooh-ooh, over the castle on the hill
Ooh-ooh, over the castle on the hill
One friend left to sell clothes and
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife and
One's just barely getting by
But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home
And I'm (on my way)
I still remember these old country lanes
(Let me see you jump)
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
And we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Ooh-ooh, over the castle on the hill
Ooh-ooh, over the castle on the hill
