about

I wrote this song for B.J., another songwriter I met in Lyons, CO at the song school at Planet Bluegrass. We wrote a song for each other from an exercise in our class, and then I embellished the song. In my head, it's about a war veteran returning from the civil war......but originally it started as a song to BJ's early home.

lyrics

Home On The Hill
Susan Marie Reeves
8/2014


Rusty Plow……Weeds in the field
Broken Swing…..Hanging free
Old Red Barn, falling down
Home on the hill where I belong

Chorus

High on a hill, wait for me
I’ll come back when I am free
Left my heart, my family

II: Home on the hill come back to me :II

Empty stall, no one to ride
Old Hay bale dusty dry
No giddy-up, no where to roam
II: Home on the hill all alone :II

One step in, broken gate
War is over, broken leg
Shattered windows, half-hung door
Coming home, a house no more
Home on the hill, a house no more
