"Hill Country Home" lyrics

I was born and raised in Texas
In a little hill country home
Grew up on the Guadalupe River
Just north of San Antone

Way out in the middle of nowhere
Down an old red gravel road
The same house granddaddy lived in
'Til he was ninety eight years old

From where I stand, this piece of land
Is all I've ever known
And for what it's worth, my heaven on earth
Is this hill country home
Hill country home

I've been west of Midland
Working on a old pipeline
Spent time down in Corpus Christi
Fishing with a friend of mine

I knew a girl in Fort Worth
Yea, she stole my heart away
I love every town I've been around
But I knew I'd never stay

Cause from where I stand, this piece of land
Is all I've ever known
And for what it's worth, my heaven on earth
Is this hill country home
Hill country home

Passed down five generations
My old man used to say
"Your Granddad gave this land to me
And it'll be yours, too, someday

Don't ever sell one acre
Pass everything down the line
Leave it in the hands of your little man
The same way I did mine

Cause from where I stand, this piece of land
Is all I've ever known
And for what it's worth, my heaven on earth
Is this hill country home
Yeah, from where I stand, this piece of land
Is all I've ever known
And for what it's worth, my heaven on earth
Is this hill country home
Hill country home
Hill country home
