"Hill I'll Die On" lyrics

"Hill I'll Die On"

Been thinking about it since I was sixteen
Several acres, sign the papers, put twenty down
Little honey hole pond tucked in some pine trees
Inside a fence, outside of town
Just enough rows to call it a farm
It's crazy, baby, thinking here we are

In a turn off the road
Nobody knows the way to
Some gravel poured down
On dirt headed straight to a mile's on it
Firestone and an old oak tree hanging
Spitting image, bare feet
Running around there playing
Couple neighbors I can wave to
Every day on my ride home
And a girl I gave my name to
In a house on a hill I'll die on

Might as well go ahead and plant my cross
At the clover patch over at that cottonwood tree
When the good Lord finds time to call me home
I know where I'm heading and he knows where I'll be

In a turn off the road
Nobody knows the way to
Some gravel poured down
On dirt headed straight to a mile's on it
Firestone and an old oak tree hanging
Spitting image, bare feet
Running around there playing
Couple neighbors I can wave to
Every day on my ride home
And a girl I gave my name to
In a house on a hill I'll die on
Oh, I'll die on

Yeah, on the other side
There's a mansion God's building
But I hope that mine looks kind of familiar

To turn off the road
Nobody knows the way to
Some gravel poured down
On dirt headed straight to a mile's on it
Firestone and an old oak tree hanging
Spitting image, bare feet
Running around there playing
Couple neighbors I can wave to
Every day on my ride home
And a girl I gave my name to
In a house on a hill I'll die on
Oh, I'll die on
I'll die on
In a house on a hill I'll die on
