lyrics

These hills hold the bones
Of our long gone daddies and mommas
In slumbers they dream
Of the way we’re tending their land
And you know we owe to the coming generations
A clear view from these hills
That their dreams are still at hand

Show me these hills and I’ll show you honest people
That don’t judge you by your words
They judge you by your deeds
They don’t swallow no promise
From some big corporation
They follow the promise of the soil and the seed

The leaves are falling, these hills are calling
Come home, you’re needed, good stewards of the land

Together we’ve traveled
Where the asphalt meets the gravel
Down the fencerows, past the headstones
And through every crossroads town
To the mountains and the oceans
And they’re both a little overrated
These hills are the heavens that I dream about

The leaves are falling, these hills are calling
Come home, you’re needed
Good stewards of the land
Come home, you’re needed
Good stewards of the land
