[Intro]
   


[Verse 1]
             
When I was six

             
 years old I b

             
roke my leg
             
I was running 

              
from my brothe

  
r and his frie

nds   Em
             
And tasted the

              
 sweet perfume

  
 of the mounta

in grass I rol

led down
              
I was younger 

             
then, take me 

              
back to when I


[Pre-Chorus]

Found my heart

 and broke it 

here

Made friends a

nd lost them t

hrough the yea

rs
              
And I've not s

           
een the roarin

g fields in so

long, I know I

've grown
             
But I can't wa

    
it to go home


[Chorus]

I'm on my way
            
Driving at 90 

      
down those cou

ntry lanes

Singing to "Ti

ny Dancer"
             
And I miss the

            
 way you make 

        
me feel, and i

t's real
             
When we watche

           
d the sunset o

   
ver the castle

 on the hill


[Verse 2]
             
Fifteen years 

        
old and smokin

g hand-rolled
          
cigarettes

Running from t

he law through

 the backfield

s
             
and getting dr

              
unk with my fr

     
iends
             
Had my first k

              
iss on a Frida

         
y night, I don

't reckon that

 I did it righ

t
             
But I was youn

         
ger then, take

 me back to wh

en


[Pre-Chorus]

We found weeke

nd jobs, when 

we got paid
              
We'd buy cheap

              
 spirits and d

  
rink them stra

ight

Me and my frie

nds have not t

hrown up in so
     
long, oh how w

e've grown
             
But I can't wa

    
it to go home


[Chorus]
              
I'm on my way


            
Driving at 90 

 
down those cou

ntry lanes

Singing to "Ti

ny Dancer"
             
And I miss the

            
 way you make 

        
me feel, and i

t's real
           
When We watche

             
d the sunset o

            
ver the castle

   
 on the hill
         
Over the castl

e on the hill
         
Over the castl

e on the hill


[Bridge]

One friend lef

t to sell clot

hes

One works down

 by the coast

One had two ki

ds but lives a

lone

One's brother 

overdosed

One's already 

on his second 

wife

One's just bar

ely getting by

But these peop

le raised me

And I can't wa

it to go home


[Chorus]
             
And I'm on my 

     
way, I still r

emember

These old coun

try lanes
              
When we did no

              
t know the ans

   
wers
             
And I miss the

            
 way you make 

        
me feel, and i

t's real

When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
         
Over the castl

e on the hill
        
Over the castl

e on the hill
