Hill Country Home

I was born and raised in Texas

In a little hill country home

Grew up on the Guadalupe River

Just north of San Antone

Way out in the middle of nowhere

Down an old red gravel road

The same house granddaddy lived in

'Til he was ninety eight years old

From where I stand, this piece of land

Is all I've ever known

And for what it's worth, my heaven on earth

Is a hill country home

Hill country home

I've been west of Midland

Working on a old pipeline

Spent time in Corpus Christi

Fishing with a friend of mine

I knew a girl in Fort Worth

Yea she stole my heart away

I love every town I've been around

But I knew I'd never stay

From where I stand, this piece of land

Is all I've ever known

And for what it's worth, my heaven on earth

Is a hill country home

Hill country home

Passed down five generations

My old man used to say

"Your Granddad gave this land to me

And it'll be yours, too, someday

Don't ever sell one acre

Pass everything down the line

Leave it in the hands of your little man

The same way I did mine

From where I stand, this piece of land

Is all I've ever known

And for what it's worth, my heaven on earth

Is a hill country home

From where I stand, this piece of land

Is all I've ever known

And for what it's worth, my heaven on earth

Is a hill country home

Hill country home

Hill country home
