WHISKEYTOWN - Houses On The Hill lyrics

rate me

Well I found a bunch of letters<br>That were written for the fellow who broke your momma's heart<br>And the envelope folds smelled of her ancient perfume<br>I'll bet she didn't know<br>How to respond before the blankets of snow<br>Caught him out wandering alone<br>With no place to go<br><br>There were stars in the sky<br>There were houses on the hill<br>And there bottles of pills that were easy to buy<br>To keep her warm from the oncoming storm<br><br>Well I found them in the northwest corner of the attic in a box<br>Labeled tinsel and lights<br>Didn't know what I was I looking for<br>Maybe just a blanket or artifacts<br>Eisenhower sent him to war<br>He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart<br>And when he hit shore<br>Must have been a target for the gunman<br><br>There were stars in the sky<br>There were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill<br>Where he will lie<br>Shrouded in the red white and blue with the stripes<br><br>There were stars in the sky<br>There were houses on the hill<br>And there were bottles of pills that were easy to buy<br>To keep her warm from the oncoming storm
