[Intro]
"[?]" "Over the 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 of the mountain grass I rolled down
I was younger then, take me back

[Chorus 1]
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
And we watched the sun—

[Breakdown]
Over the castle on the hill
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
But I was younger then, take me back

[Chorus 1]
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
And we watched the sun—

[Breakdown]
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

[Bridge]
One friend left to sell clothes
And 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

[Chorus 2]
And I'm on my way, I still remember
These old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
When we watched the sun—

[Breakdown]
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

[Outro]
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
