Lyrics of West Hills (Abridged) by The Killers
verse
I was born right here in Zion
God's own son
His Holy Ghost stories and bloodshed
Never scared me none
verse
While they bowed their heads on Sunday
Cut out through the hedges and fields
Where the light could place its hands on my head
In the west hills
chorus
Free in the west hills
Free in the west hills
verse
She's got two full-grown children
One still on the vine
And once I got to know him
I loved him like he was mine
verse
Some nights, we drive up the mouth of the canyon
On hillbilly heroin pills
We get out and watch the sunset
Peaceful and still
chorus
And free in the west hills
Free in the west hills
verse
When the sheriff kicked my door down
I was sleeping in my own bed
And the mess I got caught up in
Rained hard down on my head
verse
And they got me for possession
Of them hillbilly heroin pills
Enough to kill the horses that run
Free in the west hills
pre-chorus
They got me for possession of enough to kill
The horses that run
chorus
Free in the west hills
Free in the west hills
verse
If this life was meant for proving
I could use more years to live
But fifteen in a guardhouse
That's more than I'm willing to give
verse
And if there really is a judgement
When He pulls my chart
He'll reject my actions
But He will know my heart
verse
And He'll prepare a place for me
Where happiness instills
And the light puts its loving hands on my head
Free in the west hills
pre-chorus
They got me for possession of enough to kill the horses that run
chorus
Free in the west hills
Free in the west hills
outro
Free
Free in the west hills
In the west hills
In the west hills
Hills
