|
Back in the hills when we were only kids |
|
Love shined like a diamond in your eyes |
|
I swore i'd never hurt you - then i did |
|
Now i'm all alone with all my lies |
|
I promised that i'd never be untrue |
|
I'd never make you cry |
|
The only promise that i didn't break |
|
Was to love you until the day i die |
|
I wish i'd never seen those city lights |
|
A sight for a country boy to see |
|
For every one that you see shinin' bright |
|
Another is burnin' out like me |
|
I wouldn't listen though you told me dear |
|
I couldn't see the lie |
|
But all the same i still love you tonight |
|
And i'll love you until the day i die |
|
They built this prison just for fools like me |
|
Who don't know a treasure from a stone |
|
I killed a man now i won't ever see |
|
The green rollin' hills where i was born |
|
No i won't ever see your face again |
|
But if i close my eyes |
|
I can almost hear you call me back to then |
|
And i'll love you until the day i die |
