lyrics

live at the foot of a mountain
of things other folks threw away
and my husband he weren’t such a good man
when he left i didn’t have much to say
at night you can hear the dogs barking
up the hill the street lamps look like stars
far safer than down in the valley
heaven’s always just past where you are

won’t you sing it one more time now
that old song I once knew so well
like momma used to murmur
when we had no cares at all

Close your eyes to remember
where the hill meets the endless sky
the home we were meant to grow up in
where we saw mom and daddy die

When we arrived I worked in a factory
We didn’t speak the language well
I’d walk miles to that job in all weather
You miss the rain when it’s hotter than hell
Fall asleep to the wind whistling by me
through the cracks in the roof of our home
Dream the wind lifts me out of this valley
but I can’t leave these children alone.

won’t you sing it one more time now
that old song I once knew so well
like momma used to murmur
when we had no cares at all

Close your eyes to remember
where the hill meets the endless sky
the home we were meant to grow up in
where we saw mom and daddy die

Sometimes I feel I can’t take it
Living low to the ground we can’t leave
And the fire will never stop burning
in the air that my kids have to breathe
But every day we climb out of this old shack
for a chance to work in the town
maybe someday we’ll burn down the mountain
and that way we won’t have to go back

won’t you sing it one more time now
that old song I once knew so well
like momma used to murmur
when we had no cares at all

Close your eyes to remember
where the hill meets the endless sky
the home we were meant to grow up in
where we saw mom and daddy die
