Primeira Parte:
When I was six years old
I broke my legA4]
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
Pré-refrão:
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
Refrão:
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
Segunda Parte:
Fifteen 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
Pré-refrão:
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
Refrão:
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
Terceira Parte:
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
Refrão Final:
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, 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
