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
