Hilltop Girl

(album: Now Hear This! - 1990)

Up in the hills at the end of the road in a place where you never would look
There's a little log cabin in among the pines by a sweet little babbling brook
That's the place, I found her alone a walking up a moonlit path
She's the one that taught me love and taught me to sing and laugh

She's my hilltop girl
She's my hilltop girl
She's my hilltop girl
She's my hilltop girl

Down in the down there's a world of light and are dreams that should never come true
Half your life if you just look back and remember just what you never did do
Up in the hills, a sky full of stars and she knows everyone
And I can't wait 'til it gets real late 'cause I know just where I'm gonna run

To my hilltop girl
To my hilltop girl
To my hilltop girl
To my hilltop girl
Yes, I will

Carving the stone at the end of the ridge on the grave where her daddy lies still
There's two little lines that still ring true and I guess that they always will
Find a home, your very own home, it's somewhere in this world
I found mine 'til the end of time, in the heart of a hilltop girl

She's my hilltop girl
She's my hilltop girl
She's my hilltop girl
She's my hilltop girl
Yes, she is
