Half Mile Hill Lyrics - David Nail

1 Half Mile Hill, eight years old

2 Standing on top with the world below

3 Me and my dad

4 Talking man to man

5 Suitcase packed, he was moving out

6 Said, "It's no one's fault but I had my doubts

7 And I have them still"

8 Up on Half Mile Hill

9 You can see the ball fields

10 Watch the cars go 'round the courthouse

11 See the sun go down where the street lamps glow

12 On those checkerboard roads

13 Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite

14 Tapping on the floor of heaven

15 Is anybody listening?

16 Half Mile Hill, seventeen

17 Tailing the summer, Angie and me

18 Kicking beer cans off the side

19 One last time

20 She was wildcat tough, I was scare-crow thin

21 We were thick as thieves 'til the bitter end

22 Trying to make time stand still

23 Up on Half Mile Hill

24 You can see the ball fields

25 Watch the cars go 'round the courthouse

26 See the sun go down where the street lamps glow

27 On those checkerboard roads

28 Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite

29 Tapping on the floor of heaven

30 Is anybody listening?

31 Hey all, you lovers and leavers, stuck in-betweeners

32 Loners and stoners, old drunks and dreamers

33 Rumbling and stumbling, always looking for something

34 Past that no trespassers sign

35 You can see the ball fields

36 Watch the cars go 'round the courthouse

37 See the sun go down where the street lamps glow

38 On those checkerboard roads

39 Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite

40 Tapping on the floor of heaven

41 Tapping on the floor of heaven

42 Is anybody listening?

43 (Anybody listening?)

44 Up on Half Mile Hill

45 Is anybody listening?

46 (Anybody listening?)
