Castle on the Hill

Lyrics

When I was six years old, I broke my leg
 When I was running from my brother and his friends
 And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
 Well, I was younger then, take me back to when
 I found my heart and broke it here
 Made friends and lost them through the years
 And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
 But I can't wait to go home
 I'm on my way
 Driving at 90 down those country lanes
 Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
 And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
 And we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
 ♪
 15 years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
 Running from the law through the backfields
 And getting drunk with my friends
 Had my first kiss on a Friday night
 I don't reckon that I did it right
 But I was younger then, take me back to when
 We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
 We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
 Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh, how we've grown
 But I can't wait to go home
 I'm on my way (hoo-hoo)
 Driving at 90 down those country lanes (hoo-hoo)
 Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
 And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
 And we watched the sunset (hoo-hoo), over the castle on the hill
 Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill
 Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill
 ♪
 One friend left to sell clothes, one works down by the coast
 One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed
 One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by
 But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home
 And I'm on my way
 I still remember these old country lanes
 When we did not know the answers
 And I miss the way (hoo-hoo) you make me feel, it's real
 When we watched the sunset (hoo-hoo) over the castle on the hill
 Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill
 Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill
