[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
             
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 country 

       
lanes
          
Singing to "Ti

ny Dancer"
             
And I miss the

            
 way you make 

            
me feel, and i

t's real
             
We watched the

           
 sunset over t

             
he castle on t

   
he hill


[Verse 2]
             
Fifteen years 

             
old and smokin

            
g hand-rolled 

      
cigarettes
             
Running from t

             
he law through

              
 the backfield

            
s and getting 

              
drunk with my 

 
friends
            
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 

we've grown
           
But I can't wa

it to go home


[Chorus]
         
I'm on my way
         
Driving at 90 

down 
             
those country

Singing to "Ti

And I miss the

            
 way you make

t's real
             
We watched the

           
 sunset over t

             
he castle on t

   
he hill
           
      Over the

             
 castle on the

 
 hill
           
      Over the

[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

We watched the

      Over the

      Over the
