Half Mile Hill, eight years old Standing on top with the world below
Me and my dad
Talking man to man
Suitcase packed, he was moving out
Said, It's no one's fault, but I had my doubts
And I have them still
Up on Half Mile Hill
You can see the ball fields Watch the cars go around the courthouse
See the sun go down Where the street lamps glow On those checkerboard roads Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Is anybody listening
Half Mile Hill, seventeen
Tailing the summer, Angie and me
Kicking beer cans off the side
One last time
She was wildcat tough, I was scarecrow thin
We were thick as theives til the bitter end
Trying to make time stand still Up on Half Mile Hill
You can see the ball fields Watch the cars go around the courthouse See the sun go down Where the street lamps glow On those checkerboard roads Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Is anybody listening
Hey all, you lovers and leavers Stuck in-betweeners Loners and stoners Old drunks and dreamers Rumbling and stumbling Always looking for something Past that no trespassing sign
You can see the ball fields Watch the cars go around the courthouse
See the sun go down Where the Street lamps glow On those checkerboard roads Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Is anybody listening
Up on Half Mile Hill
Is anybody listening
