House On The Hill

I was flying so high I hit my head
On the wing of a fallen angel
I was running so hard
I forgot my shoes at the head of the big dog's table
We was high on winning and
We danced to the sound of our money
As it jingled and jangled


But this house on the hill means nothin'
When seen from the proper angle
Big Al's momma and a couple of pals
Just up and left their familys
Up and left 'em clingin' to
A million perfect memories


God is great God is good
But Jesus still wears sandals


And this house on the hill means nothing
When seen from the proper angle
Man I was feelin' so good
I forgot my age
Until I walked by the mirror
And them blood shot eyes and puffy face
Said man you better not go near her
Cause this pretty girl in the morning light
Will make the banner come unspangled


And the house on the hill means nothin'
When seen from the proper angle
I turned ten 40 years ago
And I'm just getting' it untangled

 

The house on the hill the fancy car
The pretty girl's eyes and the crocodile shoes mean nothin'
When seen from the proper angle
I was flyin' so high I hit my head
On the wing of a fallen angel
I was running so hard
I forgot my shoes at the head of the big dog's table
We was high on winning and
We danced to the sound of our money
As it jingled and jangled


But this house on the hill means nothin'
When seen from the proper angle
