Over the Hill

LETRA

Over the Hill

This one hope
May leave my hands empty
May make my head swim
And twist my heart into a knot.

This long rope
Has got me swinging heavy
Has got my neck stretched out
Like a swan without a song.

This bad joke
Still has got me laughing
Still has got me bawling like a man chasing his hat.

With just one line
I could bring us closer
Closer than old friends
Or than your mama and your dad.

But it's always over the hill
Over the hill
There's another hill
To try and try to break my will.

But it's always over the hill
Over the hill
There's another hill
To try and try to break my will

This tired voice
May outlive my body
May ride on the wind
That's gonna blow me into dust.

But I've
made a few friends here
And I ain't rushing off
to hear what history's gotta say.
