Hills Of Home

(Let me rest on a peaceful mountain)
 Carter, this is your song
 (Where the seeds for the harvest is sown)
 That was your request
 You're at rest now
 In the hills you so often wrote about
 (Where the wild birds nest in the good summer time)
 And loved so well
 I never dreamed, I never thought
 So young you'd be called to rest
 (On a mountain near my home, sweet home)
 But the man who calls our number
 Somehow you fit into his plans
 We played the same places we played together
 (Thoughts come back from my childhood)
 Traveled the same roads mile after mile, after mile
 Your memory is with us all the while
 (Old time memories return)
 I've relived your life from beginning to the end
 Sometimes ten and twenty times a day
 (Let me rest on a peaceful mountain)
 How two little barefoot boys would run, roam, and play
 I recall our first radio show, our first record
 (In the hills near my home, sweet home)
 Always side by side, me and you
 How we were accepted throughout America
 And many foreign lands too
 Carter, if you can hear me, rest in peace
 (Thoughts come back from my childhood)
 Someday this earth, I'll no longer roam
 And we'll be together once again
 (Old time memories return)
 Side by side, in the hills of home
 Let me rest on a peaceful mountain
 In the hills near my home, sweet home
