[Intro]
C F Am G
[Verse 1]
C F Am G
When I was six years old, I broke my leg
C F Am G
I was running from my brother and his friends
C F Am G
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
C F Am G
I was younger then, take me back to when
[Pre-Chorus]
F G C
I found my heart and broke it here
F
Made friends and lost them through the years
F G C F
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, oh how I've grown
F G*
But I can't wait to go home
[Chorus]
C F
I'm on my way
Am G C F
Drivin' at ninety down those country lanes
Am G
Singin' to "Tiny Dancer"
C F Am G
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
C F Am G
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
C F Am G
[Verse 2]
C F Am G
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
C F Am G
Runnin' from the law through the backfields and gettin' drunk with my friends
C F Am G
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon I did it right
C F Am G
But I was younger then, take me back to when
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
We had weekend jobs, when we got paid
C F
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
F G C F
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh, how we've grown
F G*
And I can't wait to go home
[Chorus]
C F
I'm on my way
Am G C F
Drivin' at ninety down those country lanes
Am G
Singin' to "Tiny Dancer"
C F Am G
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
C F Am G
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Am F C G
[Bridge]
Am F
One friend left to sell clothes
C G
One works down by the coast
Am F
One had two kids but lives alone
C G
One's brother overdosed
Am F
One's already on his second wife
C G
One's just barely gettin' by
Am F
But these people raised me
C G
And I can't wait to go home
[Chorus]
C F
I'm on my way
Am G C F
I still remember these old country lanes
Am G
When we did not know the answer
C F Am G
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
C F Am G C F
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Am G C F
Over the castle on the hill
Am G C*
Over the castle on the hill
