Long ago I left my roots
They stay put upon a vintage record tune
High above these broken roofs
There's a dream of going somewhere grand I knew
But a dream of goin somewhere is nothin new
Let's take old Hill Road
Head on back to Billings Lane
My soul longs for that tin roof and the rain
People live and people die
What's the point the keeping track
Of losing all our time
I'm so glad I've grown apart
From the things I knew weren't worth it from the start
That's how you get stuck just where you are
Let's take old Hill Road
Head on back to Billings Lane
My soul longs for that tin roof and the rain
Let's take old Hill Road
Head on back to Billings Lane
My soul longs for that tin roof, Billings Lane
It's a long way home
No one will ever know
That your roots won't grow if you're too far from home
From home
Long ago I left my roots
They stay put upon a vintage record
