Castle on the Hill

Verse 1
When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume on the mountain grass I rolled down

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

Chorus
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 when we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Verse 2
Fifteen 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
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

Repeat Chorus

Hooooo, over the castle on the hill
Hooooo, over the castle on the hill

Middle 8
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

Repeat Chorus

Hooooo, over the castle on the hill
Hooooo, over the castle on the hill
